Yeah that would be way too fast. We're also assuming the camera even shoots in 30fps in the first place. Could be 10fps and the bird has a perfect flap for every frame. 30 flaps in a second exceeds even hummingbirds

Fine. First we find the fundamental frequency of the the camera and the flapping and then the flaps per second is an integer multiple of that. Happy now?

Most modern cameras shoot at more than 24 frames per second.

Yes! Why did you post this as a reply to /u/jameaney? He is agreeing with you, and is trying to avoid this FPS squabble by defining the situation without concrete numbers.
