Detailed introduction

The specific habits of the White-necked Jacobin (scientific name: Florisuga mellivora) are unknown.

White-necked hummingbirds begin displaying vibrant colors before reaching reproductive age, a coloration less common in adult females—while about 20% of adult females retain the same coloration as males, most lose their brilliance and become duller as they mature. Male white-necked hummingbirds prefer to court and mate with less expressive females, suggesting that vibrant coloration does not provide any advantage for females in courtship. For brightly colored juvenile white-necked hummingbirds, their coloration may offer the same benefits as that of brightly colored females, helping them avoid harassment and compete for nectar.
