A small hummingbird. Males are entirely glittering emerald with a dark blue, deeply forked tail. Females are similar but with pale grey underparts, a dark cheek and a white line behind the eye. 
Feeding Habits
Western Emerald primarily feeds on nectar, particularly from Hibiscus and Canna flowers, usually foraging low to the ground. These birds exhibit unique adaptations for nectar feeding.
Habitat
The western Emerald typically inhabits a range of man-altered landscapes, including cultivated areas, plantations, and town gardens. It is also found in natural settings such as fields, hedgerows, clearings within mature forests, and edges of deciduous woodlands. These environments are characteristic of the intermontane valleys and slopes within broader montane regions.
