The Glowing Puffleg Hummingbird

The Glowing Puffleg (Eriocnemis vestita) is a smol, iridescent hummingbird native to the high-altitude cloud forests of Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Known for their shimmering green body and dazzling blurple throat. What sets the Glowing Puffleg apart is their unique underfluffies aka their puff pants (so scientific). These puffs are not just for show; they're there to lure in the ladies.
Despite their beauty, the Glowing Puffleg faces threats from habitat loss due to deforestation, making conservation efforts essential to ensure its survival.
