Description

They call these colorful new residents of the bird house at Forest Park Zoo blue honey creepers, but they can hover, too, just like hummingbirds. In their native southern Mexico they feed on nectar from flowers, among other things. At the zoo, they dip their long bills into the tube at the bottom of a vial filled with water, honey, milk and a mineral supplement.
