Green-tailed Sunbird

Androphobus viridis

The Green-tailed Sunbird is a small, colorful bird found in the montane forests of Southeast Asia. It is known for its vibrant green plumage, with a contrasting yellow throat and a long, slender bill adapted for feeding on nectar. These sunbirds are highly active and agile, often seen flitting among flowers in search of food. They play an important role in pollination and are known for their distinctive high-pitched calls. The species is not migratory and forms small family groups during the breeding season. Despite their striking appearance, they can be elusive due to their small size and rapid movements.
