Purple Sunbird On Firebush Plant Royalty-Free Stock Photo

Purple Sunbird on a Firebush plant in my house.The purple sunbird is a small sunbird. Like other sunbirds they feed mainly on nectar, although they will also take insects, especially when feeding young. They have a fast and direct flight and can take nectar by hovering like a hummingbird but often perch at the base of flowers.The males appear all black except in some lighting when the purple iridescence becomes visible. Females are olive above and yellowish below.
