The
Red-billed Streamertail (Trochilus polytmus), also known as the Doctor
Bird, is indigenous to Jamaica, where it is the most abundant and
widespread member of the hummingbird family. While most authorities now
consider it a separate species, some (including the American
Ornithologists' Union) continue to consider it conspecific with the
Black-billed Streamertail. The Red-billed Streamertail is the national
bird of Jamaica.
