Nectarivorous birds

Nectarivorous birds are species that primarily feed on nectar, a sugary fluid produced by flowers. They have specialized adaptations such as long, slender beaks and extendable tongues to access nectar deep within flowers. This diet provides them with high energy, supporting their active lifestyles, including long flights. Examples include hummingbirds, honeyeaters, and sunbirds. Their feeding habits often make them important pollinators, transferring pollen from flower to flower as they seek nectar, thus contributing to plant reproduction and biodiversity.
