The Feeding of Sunbirds

Finally we were able to witness our Olive-backed Sunbirds raising their young ones.

I walked in from work last week and wife told me the eggs have hatched and we could see the young sunbirds in their flask-shaped nest. So this weekend I took out my digicam and filmed the mother sunbird feeding the young ones.

The mother is rather protective….always flying around close to me whenever I tried to approach the nest to peek in. well, I guess any parent would do the same when we sense danger around.

Hope you would enjoy viewing one of the wonders of God’s creation.

Next change: The departure of the sunbirds! Hopefully I can get to capture it my digicam.
