Sunbirds and spiderhunters enjoy my nectar in feeder. I often get confused whether it is olive colour sunbird or spiderhunter. But i see one purple sunbird. He's friendly & identified me.
Nice information for wildlife photographers..

Its just like a bird singing ..... Sitaaaaa Ram I don't know the name of this bird i didn't see him since last 17 years i miss this bird so much i was a kid when i woke up with her voice. This bird used to sing mostly in morning between 7 am and 9 am. Some times in afternoon also at that time no other birds sings so her voice was very clear. Sound is a ... whistle with twists that ends saying "Sitaaaa Ram".

The first video ever I saw with thousands of views and no dislikes. This proves that those dislikes on other videos no matter how good or how many millions or billions of views, Are not a result of the carelessness of the liker who by mistake/unknowingly pressed the thumbs down!

I think many species of sunbird enterbreed with other sunbird species. I’ ve seen many sunbirds with very unique color combinations.

Thankyou for sharing your observations. Especially the male Sunbirds transform their plumage during breeding periods to attract females.

Hummingbirds hover at their food source but Sunbirds perch to sip the nectar. Hummingbirds are closely related to swifts, whereas Sunbirds are closely related to crows. Sunbirds are found in Africa and Asia, while Hummingbirds are restricted to the Americas.

Thankyou for the question. Variable Sunbird is commonly found in Africa, especially sub-saharan Africa. They are not common in India, only one male Variable Sunbird was rarely sighted from Jamkhambhaliya, Jamnagar district (Gujarat).
