The only bird on earth that can fly backwards! 🐦🚁 Hummingbirds have the unique ability to fly backwards and upside down - a super power that no other bird in the world has! This is made possible by their rotator cuff, which allows them to generate lift on both the fore stroke and back stroke. They are the helicopters of the bird world! #birdsofcanada #sharecangeo #annashummingbird #hummingbird #wildlifephotography | Ryan Wilkes - Filmmaker & Photographer
