Article Synopsis
- Hummingbirds are known for their unique hovering ability, which is a energy-intensive flying method, and they undergo a costly molt to replace their primary feathers.
- This study analyzed high-speed videos of molting and non-molting hummingbirds to compare their wing movements and flight patterns.
- Results showed that molting hummingbirds adjusted their wing angles during flight, allowing them to maintain hovering capability despite having reduced wing area.
