A New Species of Humming Bird

A new species of humming bird have been discovered. The Gorgetted Puffleg is a rare species of humming bird. It has a plumage of violet blue and iridescent green decorating its throat. This bird has been discovered in the forest of Southwestern Columbia. This species of bird is facing the threat of extinction. The farmers in this region cultivate cocoa in a slash and burn system. This cocoa is used in the production of cocaine. The name puffleg comes due to the presence of a thing like cotton balls in their legs.

In the nature, there are so many species. We have discovered so many, still you will find that new species gets discovered. You will see that the human exploitation of nature for wood and cultivation and industrialization is making the species extinct. Beautiful birds like this species of humming bird is facing the threat of extinction.

Sometimes I see The National Geographic Channel and buy the journals for gaining more knowledge about nature. I love nature and love to know more about nature. I feel that birds should be preserved and unnecessary deforestation is forcing nature lose its balance. A time will come when man's greed for more space to live will force him to lead in an artificial world, in a world of concrete jungles. I think that humming bird has a beauty and charm that surpasses the colorful parrots and other exotic African birds.
