The Black-throated Mango is a medium-sized hummingbird found in the Caribbean and South America. It is known for its striking black throat and vibrant green and blue plumage. These agile birds are often seen darting between flowers, using their long, slender bills to feed on nectar. They also consume small insects and spiders as a source of protein. Their breeding habitats include tropical and subtropical moist forests, as well as gardens and parks. The Black-throated Mango is an important pollinator for many flowering plants in its range.
