A hummingbird's heart can beat up to 1,260 times per minute. Its heart makes up 2.5% of the creature's total body weight.
resting hummingbirds hearts beat at 250 (BPM) beats per min. Or 1200 beats per minute (BPM) when feeding.

In torpid hummingbirds, the heart rate can drop to 50-180 per minute.

A hummingbird's heart beats around 1,200 times per minute while resting and can increase to over 1,200 beats per minute during strenuous activity. This rapid heartbeat is necessary to support their high metabolism and rapid wing movement.

Hummingbirds have an extremely rapid pulse rate, especially compared to humans. On average, a hummingbird's resting heart rate is 250 beats per minute. When feeding, it could go up as high as 1200 beats per minute.
