no they are not always in motion
Hummingbird wings move in a figure-eight pattern, allowing them to hover in place and maneuver quickly in all directions. This is different from the flapping motion of most other birds' wings, which move primarily up and down. Hummingbirds also have a unique ability to rotate their wings in circular motions.
The hummingbird!
Hummingbird's move their wings in a figure 8 motion therefore it helps them move up, down, backwards, forwards and to hover.
