Just read “Sweet feat Researchers show how hummingbirds evolved a novel mechanism of taste”. Quite a recommendable article.
Neither am I fooled by sugar substitutes! :-)
Imagine
“Their ;hummingbirds] hearts beat 20 times a second and their tongues dart 17 times a second as they slurp from a feeding station.
It takes only three quick licks to reject water when they expect nectar. The birds pull back their beaks, shake their heads, and spit out the tasteless liquid.”
