Matorral / Scrub habitat Residente / Resident 10 a 11 cm; capucha azul turquesa; macho: cachete y garganta negros, pecho naranja; hembra: verde con capucha azul. Se alimenta principalmente de frutos del muérdago, facilitando la dispersión de esta planta, ya que esta semilla sólo logra germinar tras pasar por el tracto digestivo de esta ave. 4” to 4.5”; turquoise blue hood; male: black cheeks and throat, orange breast; female: green with bluish hood. Feeds mainly on mistletoe berries, thus contributing to its dispersal, since the seeds can only germinate once they pass through the digestive tract of this bird. MANUEL GROSSELET G u i a
