A Hummingbird is considered to be a specialist specie for a number or reasons. Firstly, the hummingbird is one of a few animals that eats mainly a large amount of flower nectar. Also, the hummingbird is the only specie of bird that can hover steadily and closely enough to the flowers in the highest and most dangerous positions. The Hummingbird has adapted a thin and long beak so that it is easy to extract all of the nectar from the flowers.
