Diglossopis Cyanea
The masked flowerpiercer (''Diglossa cyanea'') is a species of bird in the tanager family, Thraupidae. It is found in humid montane forest and scrub in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. Flowerpiercers got their name from the fact that they have a sharp hook on the tip of their upper mandible which they use to slice open the base of flowers to get at the nectar. Description The masked flowerpiercer grows to a length of about . The adult male is deep ultramarine blue with a dark mask. The beak is large, black, and upturned, with a characteristic hook on the tip of the upper mandible. The iris is bright red. The female is similar in appearance but altogether duller. The juvenile has a reddish-brown iris. At the northern end of its range, the song is a series of reedlike notes terminating in a twitter, while at the southern end, it is a jangling series of high-pitched notes ending with several lengthy "tseee" notes. These differing songs suggest that the northerly and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Flowerpiercer
''Diglossa'' is a genus in the family Thraupidae. They are commonly known as flowerpiercers because of their habit of piercing the base of flowers to access nectar that otherwise would be out of reach. This is done with their highly modified bill, which is typically upswept, with a hook at the tip. Most members of the genus ''Diglossa'' are found in highlands of South America (especially the Andes), but two species are found in Central America. Taxonomy and species list The genus ''Diglossa'' was introduced by the German naturalist Johann Georg Wagler in 1832 with the cinnamon-bellied flowerpiercer (''Diglossa baritula'') as the type species. The genus name is from the Ancient Greek ''diglōssos'' meaning "double-tongued" or "speaking two languages". The genus now includes 18 species. * Golden-eyed flowerpiercer, ''Diglossa glauca'' * Bluish flowerpiercer, ''Diglossa caerulescens'' * Masked flowerpiercer, ''Diglossa cyanea'' * Indigo flowerpiercer, ''Diglossa indigotica'' * ...

Bird Genera
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves (), characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton. Birds live worldwide and range in size from the bee hummingbird to the ostrich. There are about ten thousand living species, more than half of which are passerine, or "perching" birds. Birds have whose development varies according to species; the only known groups without wings are the extinct moa and elephant birds. Wings, which are modified forelimbs, gave birds the ability to fly, although further evolution has led to the loss of flight in some birds, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemic island species. The digestive and respiratory systems of birds are also uniquely adapted for flight. Some bird species of aquatic environments, particularly seabirds and some waterbirds, have further evolved for swimmi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
