Answer:Hummingbirds have long, needlelike beaks they use to probe deep into flowers. The hummingbird's beak is just a protective sheath for its tongue, which is actually what the hummingbird is using to get the nectar out of the flower. The tip of their tongue is forked and has little hairs all over it.
