Талурания

A dazzlingly colorful hummingbird of Central American and northern South American tropical forests, male crowned woodnymphs display a shimmering purple crown and breast gorget transitioning to glittering green on the lower breast, with a deeply forked violet-blue tail. They inhabit humid lowland and foothill forest from Guatemala to Ecuador at elevations up to 1,400 meters. Aggressive and fast-flying, males defend nectar-rich flower territories vigorously against intruders.

They are widespread in tropical forests east of the Andes from Venezuela and Colombia to Bolivia and Brazil. Highly aggressive territory defenders, they chase other hummingbirds from nectar sources. They are important pollinators of diverse Amazonian and Atlantic Forest flowering plants.
