Boissonneaua
Boissonneaua is a small genus of hummingbirds in the family Trochilidae. They are found in humid Andean forests from western Venezuela to southern Peru. They have a straight black bill, contrasting outer rectrices, and a distinctive habit of quickly lifting both wings up shortly after landing, thereby revealing their rufous underwing coverts.

gollark: Anyway, it's useful for stuff like interfacing with dynmaps.

gollark: What if a device wants to know if it's in the nether/end/overworld for purposes?
gollark: An extension to GPS allowing dimension finding would be good. I have that in my GPS servers but it's not official and the client code is kind of a hack.
gollark: AGPS makes more sense now we have full block modems I guess.
