Some hummingbirds prefer to fly instead of perch to optimize their foraging for nectar from flowers. Flying allows them to access a wider range of food sources and ensures they can quickly move between blooms. Additionally, hovering in place while feeding requires significant energy, so they may choose to fly to maintain their agility and avoid potential predators. This behavior reflects their adaptation to a lifestyle that emphasizes mobility and efficiency in feeding.

Where is the tongue attached in the mouth of perch?

In perch, the tongue is a small, muscular structure that is not attached to the floor of the mouth like in many other fish. Instead, it is free and located at the front of the mouth, allowing for some mobility. This adaptation helps perch manipulate their food, primarily small prey. The tongue is also involved in the feeding process, aiding in the capture and manipulation of food items.
