I don't get birds?

Humming birds zip up and down and left and right really fast
Eagles soar and are very selective with their flight plans.
Blue Birds just seem to glide.

Why do these birds all fly so differently. I thought flight was kinda fixed principle...I don't get it... I just don't get it.

Looking at the shape of a bird's wings is a simplified way to understand types of flight.
Flight comprises two elements: lift and thrust.
-The middle part of the wing (forearm) is an airfoil, and provides lift. Birds that have relatively long radius and ulna and long secondary feathers, that is, greater lift surface area, are good gliders (i.e. albatrosses, vultures).
-The more distal part of the wing (hand) provides thrust. The primary feathers are propellers, thus birds with relatively large hands and more developed, longer primaries are good at fast precision flight (i.e swifts, hummingbirds).
- Most birds are in between these extremes. An index called "aspect ratio" (wing length/width) is a good indicator of the relative lift of the wing.
And flying modes are related to the ecology of the species: where it lives, what it eats, how does it get its food, etc.
