I'm thirsty, hummingbird (Forked tongue)

Hummingbirds have forked tongues lined with hair-like extensions called lamellae. As the tongue separates inside the flower, the lamellae extend outward. Birds pull their tongues inward, bringing the tips together and rolling the lamellae inward. As a result, the nectar is trapped within the tongue.
