About These Birds
Black-belted Flowerpecker
The Black-belted Flowerpecker is a small bird endemic to the Philippine islands of Panay and Negros, with males showing a distinctive broad black breast band and bright red crown patch. It inhabits primary and tall secondary forests, feeding on mistletoe berries, other small fruits, and nectar. Deforestation on its restricted island range poses a potential long-term threat to its populations.
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.
