Summary

edit
Description
English: Purple Sunbird can be easily identified with a metallic blue and purple overall with maroon feathers on the breast. The non-breeding male species come with blackish upperparts and yellow underparts along with a blue-black band running down the throat and chest. This is the primary reason it is one of the beautiful black birds with blue head. Female species are somewhat different and they can be identified by Purple-rumped Sunbirds by their yellow throat. Both males and females primarily feed on nectar but they have been also seen eating insects. Male purple sunbird used to attract a female by fluttering their wings while singing. The bird belongs to the sunbird family and mostly seen in the regions of South and Southeast Asia but extending west into parts of the Arabian peninsula. The name of the bird comes from is male species because they require a mettalic purple shade under soft sunlight and in harsh sunlight, it appears to be completely black, however, the actual is a combination of the grossed and blue feathers. The bird breeds throughout the year except in freezing weeks from December to mid-January. The sounds produced by the purple sunbird is humming zit-zit and chwin-chwin but they are not very loud.
