For over two centuries, scientists have maintained that hummingbirds suck in nectar by capillary action (the same way liquid gets sucked up by a straw), using the tube-like channels that lie inside their tongues. However, a new study done by Alejendro Rico-Guevara, an ornithologist from the University of Connecticut, refutes that, and he has video footage to prove it.

                      That's awesome but I always knew that... I'm not saying I'm "Miss Smarty Pants", cause I'm not, and I still don't know what 2+2 equals, no, just kidding. We have a hummingbird feeder in our backyard and when hummingbirds come, I see how they drink.
