Jamaica’s national bird, the red-billed streamertail, dazzles with emerald feathers, a crimson bill and two ribbon-like tail plumes. Males hover like jewels while sipping nectar and picking tiny insects. Still common in forests, gardens and backyards island-wide, it remains listed as Least Concern.

Habitat: The Red-billed Streamertail can be found in Jamaica
