The North American Chuck-will's-widows are far from "the usual." They have large, gaping mouths that allow them scoop up insects in flight.
These birds were named for their repetitive, loud, whistled "chuck-will's-widow" calls that are often heard at night.
Dusky Lories aka Banded Lories or "Duskies" are unlike other parrots species.
Their main diet consists of flowers, nectar and pollen. They are in demand in the pet market because of their striking beauty, but their loud natural vocalizations should be considered.
The stunning Central American Purple-throated Mountain-gem are second to none in terms of natural beauty.
They are one of the major tourist attractions in Costa Rica, where ecotourists come from afar to experience these delightful creatures in their natural habitat.
However, the stunning Crimson Sunbirds (and other sunbird species) from Asia have a lot in common with the American hummingbirds, such as small size, color plumages, and long skinny bills that are perfectly adapted for retrieving nectar from flower buds.
