Meet the Sword-billed Hummingbird (Ensifera ensifera) of the Andean cloud forests—the only bird on planet Earth with a sword-like beak longer than its entire body! Measuring over 10 centimeters, its slightly upturned black bill evolved to reach deep inside hanging passionflowers, and because its beak is so long, it has to tilt its head straight up when perching and groom its feathers using its feet!
