Have u ever heard of a yellow head hummer
a friend ask me to see if there is one
are not and the body green,I never seen one
myself

There is no such species as a Yellow-Headed Hummingbird that I could find, but the head of many hummingbirds, like the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird are an irridescent green, that in the right light GLOW with a yellowish sheen that makes them appear yellow.

There are hundreds of DIFFERENT species of Humminbirds in the New World so there COULD be one with a yellow head, but if there is, I couldn't find it.
