Which bird is able to hover to obtain its food?
Hummingbirds are known to be able to hover. They do this when drinking nectar from flowers or hummingbird feeders.
Why do humming birds flap their wings so fast?
Hummingbirds must move their wings at incredibly fast speeds because they fly differently than other birds. Hummingbirds must hover in one place while feeding -- something other birds cannot do by simply flapping their wings up and down (which moves the bird up, rather than keeps it in place). In order to do this, hummingbirds move their wings in a reverse figure-8 pattern, which provides a lift counterbalanced by a downdraft. The average wingbeat of a Ruby-throated hummingbird (one of the most common in North America) is over 50 beats per minute!They flap their wings so much so they can hover in front of flowers and get nectar without actually landing.

What can hummingbirds do that others cant?
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.

Some warblers and small flycatchers, for example, will hover briefly as they seek out insects. But these birds are still larger than hummingbirds and are unlikely to sip nectar from flowers.
