Blue-throated Mountain-gem — size comparison — facts and sources
The blue-throated mountain-gem inhabits mountain forests and shaded streams, seeking nectar partly at forest margins. During flower-poor dry seasons insects and spiders become important.
Males attract females with complex quiet songs rather than spectacular flights. Females may answer similarly but build nests, incubate and raise young alone. Nests may lie beneath rock overhangs.
