Of all the birds on this planet, hummingbirds are one of the most unique and, dare I say, charming. Even if you live in an area with hummingbirds, actually seeing one can still be an extremely rare sight. You can boost your chances by putting out hummingbird feeders, which are basically fake flowers filled with a sugary mixture, but that's no guarantee of actually seeing one. When one swoops in, however, you'll definitely know it thanks to the bold humming sound it produces as its wings flap so fast they're little more than a blur.
You might not have ever wondered what exactly produces the humming sound. I mean, the birds' wings move super fast, but what are the actual mechanics behind the generation of the sound? That's exactly what scientists wanted to figure out, and in a new study published in eLife, a team of researchers has explained it in detail for the first time.
