✗ The myth everyone repeats
Hummingbirds are too small to migrate long distances, so they hitch rides on the backs of geese or other large birds during migration.
✓ What is actually true
Hummingbirds are remarkable long-distance migrants that travel independently, not by hitching rides. Some species migrate over 3,000 miles between breeding and wintering grounds. They navigate using the sun, landmarks, and Earth's magnetic field. Their high metabolism and efficient flight make migration possible despite their small size.
