About

The collared sunbird is a bird species of the family Nectariniidae. The sunbirds are a group of very small Old World passerine birds which feed largely on nectar, although they will also take insects, especially when feeding young. The collared sunbird is in fact mainly insectivorous.

Fun Fact

Collared Sunbirds are keystone pollinators in African forests and regularly pierce the base of flowers to steal nectar without entering—'robbing' the plant of reward without pollinating it.
