Scarlet Skies Poem by Rebecca Navarre

The astonishing flight of these sweet hummers is like no other. They can fly forward, backward, sideways, as well as straightforward at very fast speed. They are also capable of hovering in one spot for a long period. If your wondering how high do hummingbirds fly? The fact is these vigorous acrobatic birds are capable of flying as high as 500 feet above ground level. This is usually when they are in their migrating flight mode. These talented birds can fly 4,000 meters above sea level where there is little oxygen. However, hummingbird normally prefers flying above the upper parts of most trees. This is mainly to shield them from predators.
