the wonderful hummingbird

It is a species of hummingbird of medium size (up to 15 cm) and colors blue, green and copper
with violet crest, the only member of the genus Loddigesia. This bird is endemic to the Utcubamba
river basin, in the high jungle of northern Peru. It was discovered in 1853 by the bird collector
Andrew Matthews for George Loddiges.

This precious bird lives in the Peruvian Amazon, in an area

no more than two thousand square kilometers. The male has two long

feathers and is a very rare animal. Your situation is dangerous because

forests are continually destroyed for livestock and

extraction of firewood

As if that were not enough, the inhabitants of that place hunt them. Parachute

them, catching it is a real challenge since it flies very fast and

unfortunately, this species does not exist in any protected area.
