Another unusual feature of the species of Artamidae that warrants consideration is their brush-tipped tongue, which does not appear to have been reported previously. Analysis of gizzard contents and observation of Australian species of Artamus indicate that they are mainly insectivorous; there are, however, odd observations which indicate that they may at times be nectarivorous (e.g. Campbell, 1901). Figure 1 shows the tongues of four Aust
