Slurping it up

Sunbird drinking nectar from Heliconia sp.

Here we have an adorable sunbird drinking nectar from flowers of a Heliconia sp. plant. It was spotted at the herb garden, though many sunbirds can be seen at Sebana as well. They are small, noisy little Old World* Birds.  These tiny birds drink nectar, and take the ocassional insect. They are fairly common so keep a look out :)

Old World*: Refers to Europe, Asia and Africa. In this case, members of the sunbird family have representatives in Africa, Asia and parts of Australia even.
