Изумрудногорлая металлура

A small, brilliantly colored hummingbird of Andean cloud forests and páramo from Venezuela south to Bolivia, tyrian metaltails have deep purple-magenta gorgets and metallic reddish-purple tails. They inhabit elevations from 2,500 to 4,500 meters, hovering at flowering shrubs and herbs of the páramo. Males defend territories around nectar-rich flower patches. Among the highest-altitude hummingbirds, they are physiologically adapted to thin, cold high-Andean air.

Зелёная металлура

A medium-sized hummingbird of the high Andes of Colombia and Ecuador, viridian metaltails inhabit open páramo grasslands and forest edges at 2,900–4,600 meters elevation. Males display distinctive green plumage with a glittering teal-green tail, while females are duller green below. Like all hummingbirds, they feed on nectar and small insects, hovering in stationary flight with wingbeats exceeding 50 per second. Listed as Least Concern with stable Andean populations.
