Brazil
Despite the territorial extension of Brazil, only 85 species of hummingbirds live there; thirteen of them are endemic. Nevertheless, the beauty of some of them is impressive. Probably, that is why they name them after precious stones: ruby, emerald, and sapphire are common names for this beautiful family of birds in this tropical country.
