About These Birds
Black-fronted Flowerpecker
The Black-fronted Flowerpecker is a tiny, active flowerpecker with glossy blue-black upperparts, a striking black forehead, and red-tinged underparts in the male. It inhabits forest interior, forest edges, and secondary growth on Sumba Island in Indonesia. It feeds primarily on mistletoe berries and other small fruits, helping to disperse seeds throughout its limited range.
