There is a myth that only hummingbirds can hover. That one has sort of been proved wrong the last few years. The other myth is that only hummingbirds can fly backwards.
In my area of the world (north Idaho) there are many hawks of all sizes. They find small animals to eat by using their eyes. Naturally, just like us humans, the less jiggling of the head, the sharper the vision. So . . . they often hover (with no wind blowing). I have seen kestrels (sparrow hawks) fly backwards from a hover while keeping their eyes glued to their prey on the ground. I have even seen the very large hawks (Red hawk, Harris' hawk) hover. In one case, just once, I saw a Red hawk fly backwards. That is quite something to see in a bird that large!
If hummingbirds have an ability all their own, it might be the ability to fly backward faster than other birds.
