The title of the bird with the longest beak, relative to body size, goes to the extremely appropriately called swordbilled hummingbird.
This bird’s incredible beak, which can reach lengths of about 12cm, is longer than its body, enabling it to gain access to nectar from the longest, thinnest flowers that other hummingbird beaks can’t reach
It is the only bird whose beak is longer than the remainder of the body (leaving out the tail).
Swordbilled hummingbirds reside in the the Andean area of South America at elevations of around 1,700–3,500m and is among the biggest types of hummingbird (there are at least 250 various types of hummingbird)
