Question

The beak shape and structure of a hummingbird is

• A. Short, stout, and conical
• B. Long, curved, and tubular
• C. Small, pointed, and hooked
• D. Broad, flat, and rectangular

Hint:

Hummingbirds are known for their long, tubular beaks, which are perfect for reaching nectar deep inside flowers, and their wings allow them to hover while feeding.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The beak of a hummingbird is long, curved, and tubular, which is specifically adapted for feeding on nectar from flowers. The hummingbird's beak allows it to reach into flowers with a long, slender shape that suits its diet. This tubular structure helps the bird extract nectar efficiently without disturbing the flower too much. Other birds, such as those with conical beaks, are adapted for different feeding habits, such as cracking seeds. Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
