Description
Description
The green-tailed emerald (Chlorostilbon alice) is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is found only in Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, and heavily degraded former forest. Certain studies have placed the Green-trailed emerald within a superspecies containing C. stenurus and C. poortmani. This species has been known to steal nectar from the territories of other birds via traplining. They don't solely rely on theft however, and will guard flowers that have a high nectar concentration.

Feeding Habits
Green-tailed Emerald predominantly consumes nectar, foraging from flowering shrubs and trees within 1–6 meters of the ground, showcasing a specialized nectarivorous diet.
Habitat
The green-tailed Emerald predominantly inhabits the peripheries of humid to semi-humid rainforests and cloudforests. It shows a preference for less dense vegetation zones such as forest edges, secondary growth areas, plantations, and roadsides. These birds are more rarely found within the interior of dry forests, often selecting more open and disturbed habitats.
