No. They are angels. I literally think they are. My little beautiful friends. Welcome till October. Clean sugar water in spades here for you. Let the beautiful cycle of life begin. Babies soon.
Close contender may be all the shots I've seen lately of woodpeckers sticking their tongues at other birds at feeders. Just tongue in bird face delightfulness.
I once held one in my hand and dribbled sugar water into my palm and it lapped it up. It had flown into a window and was stunned and I was saving it from a dude that was going to "put it out of its misery." That was a pretty cool hummingbird bird tongue experience.
We had the garage door open for not more than 10 minutes today, and one of the feathery idiots flew in.
I eventually had to capture him by hand to get him out. (He was perched on one hand, and I covered him with my other so he wouldn't fly back up into the rafters.
I've never had the pleasure of witnessing this but I have had the same thought about the woodpeckers who came to my window feeder! So cute when they do a "mlem" after drilling into a suet ball ☺️
I was out in the garden & saw a Hummingbird. Thought to myself, wouldn’t it be great if the Hummingbird came close enough for me to see its shimmering colors. The next thing I know, the Hummingbird is right in front of my face,showing me all its beauty.

Two hummingbirds sticking their little tongues out.
Today though? I think the loving way Galli looks at his birthday cake counts 😂
But then I do know I am heavily biased here...
Or a "mlemmMMMMmmmMMMMmmmm!"

Freaky little alien zipper-tongues.
Nothing like the Phish TV show with Abe Vagoda

But...
My girlfriend lives in Oregon so I see this hummingbird phenomenon on video...
But...
She used to live in Florida.
Seeing your girlfriend slip into a tsunami of pelican shit will never ever be beaten.
