This looks a very interesting article about a species I have not known before. I will start a review shortly. simongraham (talk) 23:53, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Discussion

 * The article is relatively short for a GA with 1,179 words of readable prose, plus an infobox.
 * www.birdtheme.org seems to be self-published. Can you please provide evidence that it is a reputable source.
 * Removed.


 * Other references appear to be from reputable sources.
 * Consider rephrasing the lead. The sentence "It is among the largest species of hummingbird." seems disconnected from the rest of the narrative. Should this be a subclause to another sentence?
 * Worked it into another sentence.


 * There are no obvious spelling or grammar errors.
 * Is a cladogram worth including?
 * I couldn't find a phylogeny that showed the relationships of this species.


 * Is it worth explaining how this bird came to be illustrated on stamps in Africa?
 * I've removed the section since I couldn't find any reliable sources on its appearance on stamps.


 * I appreciate that data is limited, but some of the sections are very short (for example, Vocalizations and Reproduction). Is it worth combining some of these?
 * No, I don't think that they could be reasonably combined with any other parts of the body. AryKun (talk) 12:27, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
