Introduction
Tongue And Internal Organs
Despite almost exclusively insectivorous habits (see Food habits: diet, above), tongue shows adaptations to nectarivory: brushy tip, with sides of tongue rolled up to form tube (Gadow 1891 ; illustrated in Richards and Bock 1973 ). See Appearance: bare parts, above, for details of crossed bill. Crop lacking, but has instead "a distinctly marked long oval dilation" (Gadow 1891 ). Stomach small, oval, and muscular; total gut length reported as 12 cm, coiled to a relative length of 4.3 cm (Gadow 1891 ).
