About this listen
Tiny beaks, mighty battles! Hummingbirds have spent years transforming into glorious gladiators to defend their floral empires. From jagged, serrated beaks to lightning speed, the flock of experts at Seattle's Burke Museum break down the mystery of the best nectar defenders birds in the game.
Plus, we open up a specimen collection of 3-D printed hummingbird beaks and drawers full of… tongues???
