#PeruvianBirds are stunning and this #AmaziliaHummingbird is no different! Did you know that Amazilia does not come from the Amazon River or the Amazon rainforest. It's actually from a fictional character, Amazili, from a novel by Jean-François Marmontel. #birding #birdsoftheworld #birds 🪶

This little one is quite common in some regions and difficult to find in others, as the #SaffronFinch is a non-migratory bird and stays in its region all year round. They are often seen on the ground eating seeds and small bigs. #peruvianbirds #birdsoftheworld #birdphotography 🪶

Though not overly majestic, this tiny #SouthernBeardlessTyrannulet flitted about the trees looking for a mate. Though part of the shy #flycatcher family, it acts more like #warbler and has various plumages!
