The eyes of a male hummingbird are a dark brown-black color which is circled by a ring of white or yellow feathers. The tail is usually long and consists of two central feathers that have a distinctive glittering green color, with several other tail feathers of various shapes, sizes and colors. The beak of a male hummingbird is slightly curved and pointed at the end, allowing the bird to easily sip nectar from flowers. Males often have a splash of vivid red or purple iridescent feathers on the chest or throat and some may have a velvet black cap with hints of turquoise and purple on the forehead and back. Typical plumage is bright, iridescent green and blue feathers with flecks of orange and black. Generally ranging between 3-5 inches in length, they are much smaller than many songbirds, but larger than bat-sized birds. Male hummingbirds are typically some of the most spectacularly colorful birds in the world.
