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.
