Sicklebill Hummingbird

The sicklebill is a tropical hummingbird specially adapted to feed on one common flower most hummers just can't get their beaks into, the Heliconia, which protects its nectar at the bottom of a long, curved tube. So the sicklebill is more of a specialist.

Swordbill Hummingbird

The Swordbill Hummingbird pollinates the Datura, which has a 13-centimeter long blossom that hangs downward. Only the Swordbill hummingbird can come underneath the flower and put his seven to eight-centimeter-long bill up inside, and with his tongue go even farther and pollinate that flower. No other insect or bird is known to pollinate that flower, so it would simply die if that bird becomes extinct.
