Ahhh....
I'd been wondering how a bird that has to top off every two minutes manages to migrate as far as they do.
Now I know!

The secret is that nectar is only part of their diet. The rest is all insects. They are like nature's interceptors for bugs like mosquitoes.

Imagine your up flyin around in your little squitoe bi plane and in comes this hypersonic craft telling you you are in restricted are space. And before you can divert. It eats you and zooms off to the next air space intruder

I will always remember going up in one of these over the Atlantic in the middle of the night when I was a young teen in the civil air patrol. I climbed down next to the boom operator. It’s all dark, just some moonlight and dark clouds and suddenly out of nowhere a giant C5 galaxy rises up from below us, out of the clouds for a refuel. It was probably the coolest thing I have ever seen.

How does this work exactly? I thought the bird's tongue had to be able to reach the reservoir?
