Definition
A small hummingbird found in Jamaica, named for its long beak that resembles a doctor's probe.
Etymology
Compound of 'doctor' and 'bird,' reflecting the folk observation that the bird's needle-like beak resembles the instruments used by physicians.
Kelly Says
Jamaica's national bird is the doctorbird, and it's one of the few hummingbirds that vocalizes with its tail—the outer tail feathers vibrate to produce sharp chirping sounds, making it look and sound like a tiny flying instrument.
