    • The Giant Hummingbird (Patagona gigas) is the largest member of the hummingbird family, weighing 18-20 g (6/10 - 7/10 of an ounce) and measuring approximately 21.5 cm (8½ in) in length. This is about the length of a European Starling or a Gray Catbird, though the Giant Hummingbird appears significantly smaller due to its long bill. It is the only member of the genus Patagona. In Bolivia, the Giant Hummingbird is known in Quechua as "burro q'enti".

    • The Snowcap, Microchera albocoronata, is a small hummingbird which is a resident breeder in Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and western Panama. It is the only member of the genus Microchera. Its habitat is the canopy and edges of wet forest, and it will also use adjacent more open woodland. It occurs mainly on the Caribbean mountain slopes, breeding mainly at heights of 300-800 m. After breeding, most descend to the adjacent lowlands, but some may wander up to heights of 1400 m.

    • Sword-billed Hummingbird (Ensifera ensifera) is a species of hummingbird from South America and the sole member of the genus Ensifera. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. It is noted as the only species of bird to have a bill longer than the rest of its body. This adaptation is to feed on flowers with long corollas such as Passiflora mixta. The tongue is therefore also unusually long.

This bird inhabits the edges and clearings of montane oak forests from about 2000 m to the timberline. It is 13 cm long.
