🐦 Bird Ramble!

Oof! A long time ago I did some posts on TUMBLR about BIRDS!!!! so i figured why not post em here...

One of my favorite birds, the Long-Billed Starthroats!

An image of a long-billed starthroat! It's primary colour is gray. The scapular and lesser-coverts are a greenish colour that fades into brown, while the primary, secondary and tertial feathers are a light brown. The crown and forehead of the bird is a shining blue colour, and the throat and breast are pink(right side of bird) and yellow(left side of bird).

One of the larger types of hummingbirds, coming in at about four inches long, they’re about the size of a Violet-Crowned hummingbird(10-11cm long)! Their population is sadly decreasing :'(

Like most hummingbirds, they are solitary creatures that usually fly solo for most of their lives. During mating season, male hummingbirds hold territory, and the females briefly visit to breed. Both males and females may mate with multiple partners!

Afterwards, the females seek out places to build nests and raise their young on their own!
