To get nectar from a flower, a hummingbird first inserts its long bill and/or tongue into the blossom. Its specially adapted tongue is folded into paired troughs or partial tubes and draws nectar into its mouth by capillary action. Hummingbirds also eat large quantities of insects and other invertebrates, tree sap, the honeydew from aphids and scale insects, and occasionally fruit juices as well as flower nectar.
