Metallura baroni is a hummingbird that loves humidity and lives in the swamps of the Americas. It can be found in many African wetlands.

Purple throated hummingbirds have a strong ability to survive in the wild, which is the main reason why their average life expectancy is longer than that of ordinary hummingbirds. The purple throat hummingbird likes the mountainous terrain, which has a certain Angle of slope, and contact with the wind blowing from the surrounding ocean, which forms a large amount of precipitation. This, coupled with the lack of water diffusion deep within the vegetation, gives the birds access to a lot of rain.


Although the purple throat bright tail hummingbird is small, but very lively, in order to meet the development, they have to often engage in hunting and other activities. The purple throated hummingbird can adjust its direction of travel by flying forward and backward, while fulfilling the requirements of hunting. Because of the fast frequency of their wings vibration, a large amount of air can support the purple throat bright tail hummingbird's body suspended in the air, so the purple throat bright tail hummingbird is one of the few birds that can do hover in the air, very special.
