The Honeycreepers are small Bird s in the Tanager family. They are found in the tropical New World from Mexico south to Brazil . They occur in the forest canopy, and, as the name implies, they are specialist Nectar feeders with long curved bills. There are five species in two Genera . The four ''Cyanerpes'' species have colourful legs, long wings and a short tail. The males are typically glossy purple-blue and the females greenish. Green Honeycreeper has a larger, stouter bill than the ''Cyanerpes'' group, and is less heavily dependent on nectar. SPECIES
