Hummingbirds hover by rapidly flapping their wings in a figure-eight pattern, allowing them to generate lift and maintain their position in mid-air. Their wing structure and powerful muscles enable this unique flying ability. They can hover for extended periods, which allows them to feed from flowers while remaining stationary.
