About These Birds

Banded Sunbird

The Banded Sunbird is a Vulnerable sunbird of the family Nectariniidae endemic to the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania. Weighing about 9.6g with a wingspan of 11.4cm, the male has a distinctive red-and-black breast band. Its restricted montane forest habitat and ongoing deforestation make it particularly threatened.

Bates's Sunbird

Bates's Sunbird is a small, iridescent sunbird found in the lowland rainforests of West and Central Africa, particularly in Cameroon and Gabon. Males display metallic green and purple plumage with a bright breast band, while females are duller olive-brown. It feeds primarily on nectar from forest flowers and small insects, probing blooms with its curved bill.
