The hummingbird, also known as hummingbird, cuitelo, lollipop, woodpecker, honeydew, binga, guanambi, guinumbi, guainumbi, guanumbi[1] and mainoĩ,[2] is a bird of the Trochilidae family, composed by 108 genera and 322 known species. In Brazil, some genera receive other names, such as white tails of the Phaethornis genus or straight-beaks of the Heliomaster genus. In the classification system of Sibley & Ahlquist, the Trochilidae family was part of its own order, the Trochiliformes. Distinctive features of the group include an elongated beak, nectar-based feeding, eight pairs of ribs, fourteen to fifteen cervical vertebrae, iridescent plumage, and an extensible, forked tongue. The group originates from the Americas and occurs from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. Most species are tropical and subtropical, living between latitudes 10ºN and 25ºS. The group's greatest biodiversity is found in Brazil and Ecuador, which have about half of the known hummingbird species. Trochylids are absent from the Old World, where their ecological niche is filled by the family Nectariniidae, of the order Passeriformes. #RandomThoughts
