....it's may the feathers you hear, not the vocalization!

Excerpt:
Hummingbird 'uses tail to chirp'
Hummingbird in flight
Hummingbird chirp
A species of hummingbird makes a chirping noise with its tail feathers, not its
throat, a study using high-speed video has suggested.
"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all."
--Emily Dickenson
