e Notorious Crimson Pirate


All touch ginger belongs to me. A nectar feeding bird not bigger than 11cm but fiercely antagonistic towards other species. Tis the Crimson sunbird, a handsome male. Its fiery coat is its biggest attraction. During the breeding season from April to Jun, these feathers apparently lost their home ground to the even more aggressive plain-throated species. That will be reserved for another day.
