Named After Its Sweet Sound, The Crimson Sunbird Is A Precious Emerald That Shines Gorgeously
The Crimson Sunbird (Aethopyga siparaja) is one of those mesmerizing critters. With a gorgeous red coat and a beautiful sound, this charming species gives us a satisfying feeling of immersing ourselves in the embrace of Mother Nature and forgetting everything else.
DIET / FEEDING: Crimson Sunbirds mostly feed on nectar, although take insects particularly during the breeding season to feed their young and to satisfy their own need for increased protein in their diet during this demanding time. They favor flowers with the highest sugar content and seek out those areas containing flowers with high energy nectar.
