end0skeletal:The sword-billed hummingbird is noted as the only species of bird to have a bill longer than the rest of its body. This adaptation is to feed on flowers with long corollas such as Passiflora mixta. The tongue is therefore also unusually long.Since the sword-billed hummingbird’s beak is very long, it preens itself with its feet. -- source link
