Spring has bloomed lots of flowers in a tamarind tree just next to my window.. Which attracts lots of sunbirds. My 4yr old daughter comes to me and whispers, "mumma come with your cam, there are birds out there on the window". But by the time i try to click, they are gone.. Finally caught them, here are the pics,
Up on the tree
This is smaller than a sparrow in size. The female has greyish white chin and throat, paler yellow underparts. The head, upper parts and breast of the male are mostly metallic green, crimson and purple with a metallic bluish purple rump. The lower parts are bright yellow. It is mostly a bird of gardens and wooded areas.

DeleteThey're little acrobats! Are they really called sunbirds? What a great name.
ReplyDeleteOh really, might be they are called Purple Rumped Sunbird here in India. These are female ones, the male ones are metallic green or purple in color, so are they called Purple Rumped...
DeleteCool, they are neat birds to have outside your windows. Happy weekend!
