Flapped

The bird flapped its wings.

He flapped the flies away.

She flapped at the fly with a newspaper.

Then the young bird felt that his wings were strong, as he flapped them against his sides, and rose high into the air.

Chloe, when she had milked her ewes, and sometimes Daphnis' goats as well, had great difficulty in making the milk curdle, for the gnats were very troublesome and if she flapped them away they stung her.

On the ledge of rock above this strange couple there stood three solemn buzzards, who, at the sight of the new comers, uttered raucous screams of disappointment and flapped sullenly away.

The birds flapped their wings.

The pennons flapped in the wind.

The flag flapped in the wind.

The ducks flapped their wings in the sun to dry off.
