The Green-bellied Hummingbird is a small, vibrant bird characterized by its entirely green plumage, often with a more bronzy or coppery sheen on its upperparts. It is a common and active species in its South American range.
Where to spot
Found in northern South America, primarily in Colombia and Venezuela, extending into parts of Ecuador and Peru. Inhabits humid to semi-humid forest edges, clearings, secondary growth, and gardens, from lowlands to moderate elevations.
How to spot
Identify this hummingbird by its overall green coloration, including its belly, which may have a subtle bluish or bronzy sheen depending on the light. Look for it actively feeding at tubular flowers or visiting feeders. Listen for its high-pitched, chattering calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout the year. Active during daylight hours, with peak foraging in the early morning and late afternoon.

Despite their small size, hummingbirds are highly territorial, especially during the breeding season. Males will fiercely defend their feeding and nesting territories against rivals and even much larger birds.
