The Green Hermit bird is a fascinating species of hummingbird found primarily in the lush, tropical forests of Central and South America. Known for their shimmering green plumage, these birds are often mistaken for tiny, flying emeralds as they dart through the dense jungle foliage. They belong to the hermit group of hummingbirds, which means they tend to be solitary and secretive, a stark contrast to their more flamboyant hummingbird cousins. Despite their reclusive nature, Green Hermits are highly territorial when it comes to food sources, particularly their favorite nectar-producing flowers.

One of the most captivating traits of the Green Hermit is its remarkable ability to hover in place, which it uses to feed on nectar while barely moving its body. Their long, curved beaks and specialized tongues are perfectly adapted to extract nectar from tubular flowers, making them vital pollinators in their ecosystem. Interestingly, male Green Hermits perform elaborate courtship displays to attract mates, often congregating in “lekking” sites. Here, they sing and dance to impress females, with the most energetic performers usually winning over the ladies. It’s like a bird version of a talent show in the jungle!

Beyond their vibrant appearance and acrobatic prowess, Green Hermits have a surprisingly important ecological role. By feeding on a variety of flowers, they transfer pollen between plants, ensuring the survival of countless species. Their presence indicates a healthy ecosystem, as they thrive only in biodiverse, undisturbed forests. Unfortunately, like many tropical species, they face threats from habitat loss and deforestation. This makes the Green Hermit not only a jewel of the jungle but also a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect their homes.

WHICH FINISH?

Great question! Here's what we recommend...

CANVAS - On trend (we sell heaps) and great for most homes with lots of windows. Soaks up the reflection.
ACRYLIC - On trend with its frameless look. Suits modern homes with big white walls. Highly reflective though.
METAL - The shinny version of canvas. It's framed the same way but instead is very shinny and flat.
FRAMED - Traditional look however we don't sell many framed prints these days.
ROLLED - Perfect if you have your own framer however, remember framing is expensive!
