[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the number of times the hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, we need to convert 15 seconds to minutes. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so 15 seconds is equal to 15/60 = 0.25 minutes.

Therefore, the hummingbird will flap its wings 5,000 * 0.25 = <<5000*0.25=1250>>1250 times in 15 seconds. Answer: \boxed{1250}.
