White-tipped Sicklebill
The white-tipped sicklebill uses its extremely decurved bill to reach inside sharply curved flowers, allowing it to drink nectar other nectarivores cannot reach. It is also a ‘trapliner’ — repeating the same foraging circuits, visiting favourite flowers along its particular route.
