I've been trying to get a shot of this lil' fellow for a couple of days now ๐
Eventualy managed to get some shots of both male and female after they landed on a tree top ๐ณ
The male
The female
It is called Tzufit - Hebrew for 'nectar bird' - or sunbird in English.
It looks very much like a large hummingbird, with a long thin curved beak for drinking nectar with, though unlike the hummingbirds, it can't fly backwards.
The male is dark, but iridescent, with flashes of metallic blues, greens and purple, and a tiny patch of orange and yellow, while the female is dull a olive-grey.
In nature, sunbirds can live between 3 and 9 years.
The sunbird is very curious and examines every unknown object in its surroundings, so it is easy to lure it (for a nice photoshoot๐) with a feeding tool containing sugar water or other sweet matter.
Enjoy!
