The amethyst sunbird also called the black sunbird (Chalcomitra amethystine), is a species of passerine bird in the family Nectariniidae. It is native to the Afrotropics, mostly south of the equator. They are commonly found in well-watered habitats and undertake seasonal movements to visit flowering woodlands. The demise of some woodlands has impacted their numbers locally, but their range has also expanded along with the spread of wooded gardens.
