Most small birds carry insects or fruit in their bills, and pop the food into out stretched mouths. Others swal low the food and later cough it up. Hummingbirds employ their tubular tongues to inject the youngsters with nectar. Cor morants and pelicans open their mouths and let the babies help themselves.
