MIT solves gravity-defying bird beak mystery: this mechanical model of the phalarope beak, showing its transport of a micro-liter droplet, helped MIT researchers discover how the bird propels food upwards to its throat. Video taken at 2000 fps, slowed down to 30 fps. Video / Manu Prakash, MIT. Source: MIT solves gravity-defying bird beak mystery, http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2008/bird-beak-0515.html
