 THE MANGO HUMMING-BIRD. 



[HEKE is one species of Humming-Bird 

 that is more hardy than the rest of its 

 tribe, and has been brought to England. 



It is called the Mango Humming- Bird, 

 and is very common in the parts of the world 

 where it lives. The Mango Humming-Birds are 

 seen everywhere. 



They are beautiful birds, as you will judge from 

 the description I am about to give you. 



Under the throat and body is a deep rich stripe 

 of velvety black, shaded with the brilliant blue 

 which so often makes part of the costume of the 

 Humming-Bird.
