silfo coliverde

El silfo coliazul (Aglaiocercus kingii) es uno de los colibríes con mayor ornamentación, y los machos presentan plumaje verde iridiscente junto con timoneras externas dramáticamente alargadas, en forma de cintas, que alcanzan hasta 22 cm, más de tres veces la longitud del cuerpo. Habita los bosques nublados andinos de Colombia y Venezuela, en bosques montanos húmedos entre los 1.400 y los 2.800 metros de altitud. Los machos realizan elaborados vuelos de exhibición para atraer a las hembras. Sus exuberantes colas son un ejemplo clásico de selección sexual por preferencia femenina.
