Description
For the fruit, see Mango. The green mango (Anthracothorax viridis) is a large species of hummingbird endemic to the main island of Puerto Rico. It is usually found in the mountainous regions of the island, often in coffee and other kind of plantations. They usually feed on the nectar found in Heliconia flowers. Their feather coloration is mainly solid dark green with a dark blue and black tail, but solid purple-black birds are common. Females are less glossy, and they have very small white tips at the tail ends.

Feeding Habits
Green Mango primarily feeds on nectar but supplements its diet with insects and spiders. It has specialized feeding behaviors including hovering to extract nectar from flowers with its long tongue, and adeptly catching small prey in flight.
Habitat
Green Mango predominantly resides in the lush plantations and montane forests of Central and Western mountainous regions. These birds thrive in habitats comprising coffee and similar types of plantations, finding sustenance and shelter among the dense vegetation. Although it is uncommon in coastal areas, green Mango is most frequently observed at elevations ranging from 800 to 1200 meters, where it has adapted to the specific ecological conditions of these highland zones.
