- La hembra joven del Colibrí de Cabeza Roja tiene plumas rojas en el medio de la garganta.
- La hembra y los jóvenes del Colibrí de Garganta Morada tienen un tono más pulido en los flancos.
- Investigadores han encontrado que el Colibrí de Cabeza Violeta puede entrar en un estado de sopor en el que su ritmo cardiaco y temperatura corporal bajan considerablemente al encontrarse con las bajas temperaturas ambientales nocturnas. El corazón de un colibrí en estado de sopor late 50 veces por minuto, mientras que el corazón de un colibrí fuera de este estado y en reposo, puede llegar a latir entre 500 y 900 veces por minuto.
