A hummingbird moves its wings so fast it can hover in one place. the same is true for a helicopter with its propeller.

Hummingbirds are known for their ability to hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings, 15 to 80 times per second (depending on the species). Capable of sustained hovering, the hummingbird is the only bird that has the ability to fly deliberately backwards or vertically, and to maintain position while drinking from flower blossoms.

A hummingbird is the only bird that takes off by flying straight up rather than on an angle the way other birds do.

It means a hummingbird can hoover in one spot, like a helicopter.
