Violet-crowned Woodnymph
The Violet-crowned Woodnymph is a common to abundant bird of wet lowlands and foothills to 2500 m, and may move higher when not breeding. The female Violet-crowned Woodnymph is entirely responsible for nest building and incubation. She lays two white eggs in a plant-fibre cup nest 1-5 m high on a horizontal branch. Incubation takes 15-19 days, and fledging another 20-26.

colombica (sensu stricto) should be Violet-crowned Woodnymph and that the English name Crowned Woodnymph be applied only to T. colombica (sensu lato), including T. fannyi. Presumably a NO vote on this proposal would be to keep our current name of Purple-crowned Woodnymph. F. Gary Stiles, August 2007 Current SACC footnote: 37aa. More
