Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Birds with longer, thinner bills, such as hummingbirds, bananaquits, and sunbirds, insert their bills into the flower so they can lick at the nectar directly. ... Nectar-eating birds are called nectivorous if nectar does make up a large proportion of the majority of their diet, such as with hummingbirds.
