SUNBIRD 2/11 - Black-throated Sunbird


Black-throated Sunbird
 
 A very common bird in Cameron Highland. With all the blooming flowers all over town; these sunbirds in pairs can be approached in close proximity. Because of their diet of nectar they are active all day long. Their favorite tree is the Bottlebrush

 
 
Its length is just a finger long 10-13cm. It can be differentiated from the Purple throated from its abdomen color. The latter has crimson breast merging into black. The female black throated is the plainer half.
