Another glorious day. The air as delicious to the lungs as nectar to the tongue.
- John Muir
Sunbirds play an important role in the pollination of many tubular flowers since bees and butterflies cannot reach the nectar hidden on the bottom of the "tube".
The purple sunbird gets its name due to its iridescent metallic purple plumage.
