Are there hummingbirds in Thailand? I am often asked. They then saw a small bird with a crooked beak that appears to be hovering. The answer is No.
Hummingbirds (Trochilidae) are a family of birds native to both the Americas. They are not found in Asia. Colibris are found throughout the Americas from Alaska to Chile, with the greatest diversity occurring in the Andes Mountains.
There are small birds in Thailand that eat honey and can hover: these are sunbirds. Sunbirds are a tropical Old World family, with representatives in Africa, Asia and Australasia.
