Dayak Flowerpecker

Dicaeum dayakorum

The Dayak Flowerpecker (Dicaeum dayakorum) is a small bird species found in the montane forests of Borneo. It is characterized by its vibrant plumage, with males displaying a striking combination of red, black, and yellow, while females have a more subdued olive-green coloration. These tiny birds are highly active and are often observed flitting among the foliage in search of nectar, fruits, and insects. Their high-pitched calls can be heard throughout the forest as they establish and defend their feeding territories. The Dayak Flowerpecker plays an important role in pollination and seed dispersal within its habitat, contributing to the overall health of the ecosystem.
