Trochilidae (family) (Apodiformes (order), Aves (class), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Members of a family containing about 320 species of small, often brightly colored birds native to the Americas. They have compact, strongly muscled bodies and rather long, bladelike wings that, unlike the wings of other birds, connect to the body only from the shoulder joint, allowing them to flap them very fast to hover in mid-air (creating a humming sound) and to fly straight up, down, sideways, and backwards; their bill is typically long and slender, adapted for securing nectar from certain types of flowers; some of the species represent the smallest living bird and are among the smallest of warm-blooded vertebrates.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 科名，科下包含320個物種，為體型小且通常顏色鮮豔的鳥類，原生於美洲，身體小巧，肌肉強壯，具有相當長且如刀片般的翅膀，與其他鳥類翅膀不同之處在於，其翅膀僅從肩關節處連接身體，能使翅膀迅速拍擊而盤旋於半空中（產生嗡嗡的聲響），且能筆直地上下左右前後飛行；其喙通常長而纖細，適合獲取某些種類花朵的花蜜：其某些種類代表體積最小的現存鳥類，且屬於體積最小的恆溫脊椎動物。 |
