Crimson Sunbird

The Crimson Sunbird, which belongs to the Nectariniidae family of sunbirds, is well-deserving of being one of the most beautiful red birds. These species' males have a brilliant crimson breasts and back. Meanwhile, their belly is pale green, and their tail is a burned golden hue.


Crimson sunbirds can be found in tropical woods throughout South and Southeast Asia. To shelter their eggs, these small red 4-inch long birds build hung nests on tree branches. The crimson sunbird, like all other sunbirds, feeds mostly on nectar collected from flowers. Because of its hovering ability, the red sunbird is frequently mistaken for a hummingbird because both of them feed on insects and nectar, and have small sizes as well as impressive speed. Furthermore, it consumes a wide range of insects. Sunbirds are sometimes referred to as spider hunters due to their habit of chasing spiders. The crimson sunbird has been classified as a species of Least Concern due to its vast distribution.
