Discussion
[edit]- The article is relatively short for a GA with 1,179 words of readable prose, plus an infobox.
- www.birdtheme.org seems to be self-published. Can you please provide evidence that it is a reputable source.
- Removed.
- Other references appear to be from reputable sources.
- Consider rephrasing the lead. The sentence "It is among the largest species of hummingbird." seems disconnected from the rest of the narrative. Should this be a subclause to another sentence?
- Worked it into another sentence.
- There are no obvious spelling or grammar errors.
- Is a cladogram worth including?
- I couldn't find a phylogeny that showed the relationships of this species.
- Is it worth explaining how this bird came to be illustrated on stamps in Africa?
- I've removed the section since I couldn't find any reliable sources on its appearance on stamps.
- I appreciate that data is limited, but some of the sections are very short (for example, Vocalizations and Reproduction). Is it worth combining some of these?
- No, I don't think that they could be reasonably combined with any other parts of the body. AryKun (talk) 12:27, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
@AryKun: Excellent work. Thank you for responding so quickly. simongraham (talk) 14:24, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

edit war
[edit]I don't want to edit war with you AryKun but I don't like your recent edit. You have placed two images on the left and they are usually placed on the right. The second feeding image is not needed. I suggest putting my perching image in the info box and moving the studio feeding image in the infobox down into the feeding section. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:52, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, did it, you could've just made that edit in the first place. AryKun (talk) 11:19, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

The sword-billed hummingbird (Ensifera ensifera) is a neotropical species of hummingbird from the Andean regions of South America. Among the largest species of hummingbird, it is characterized by its unusually long beak, being the only bird to have a beak longer than the rest of its body, excluding the tail. It uses this to drink nectar from flowers with long corollas and has coevolved with the plant Passiflora mixta. While most hummingbirds preen using their beaks, the sword-billed hummingbird uses its feet to scratch and preen due to its beak being so long. Photograph credit: Andy Morffew
