User's notes
Close up of technique for removing lerps. Leaf is held by claw between upper beak and tongue so lerp can be detached off leaf and consumed. I have witnessed very fine motor skills by this bird in positioning the leaf with its claw until it is in exactly the right position for the tongue.
