Well I think they noticed that the rock doves keeled right over, but the clay pigeons were unaffected by the poison berries. So . . . I have to admit though that I was fascinated by those curved beak humming birds and their equally curved tongues. I was wondering what keeps them from getting all tangled up when they are kissing? Or worse? And to think that they are more closely related to a tyranasaur, or velociraptor, or one of those dromeasaurs, or those trilladons than they are to say giant moths. But you may recall that the large dinosaurs used to swallow large rocks to aid in digestion. Kind of a Cretaceous period Tums for the tummy. One wonders how they may have learned that little trick though. You don't suppose they learned it from the rock doves do you?
