See koolibriliik sööb lisaks lillenektarile ka putukaid ning on nende
püüdmiseks välja mõelnud omanäolise viisi. Lisaks istumisoksalt
lendputukate järgi sööstmisele, rabistab linnuraas ka tihedates
võserikes, pekstes tiibadega vastu lehti, et saaki välja meelitada.

Purple-throated Mountain Gem eats also insects in addition to flower
nectar and has developed a smart way to catch them. Besides sallying
flying insects from their perches, this hummingbird also searches
among dense foliage, beating their wings against the leafs in flight
and flushing insects for consumption. On the photo is a male bird, you
can see quite different female
here. Curi-Cancha Reserve, Costa Rica.
