Crimson Sunbird Aethopyga siparaja siparaja
- Food plant Photographer : © Amar-Singh HSS Location : secondary growth at city fringe, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia Date :
28 January 2021 English synonyms: Eastern Crimson Sunbird, Scarlet-breasted Sunbird, Scarlet-throated Sunbird, Yellow-backed Sunbird, Magnificent Sunbird (magnifica ), Goulpourah Sunbird, Greater Crimson Sunbird (seheriae ), Lesser Crimson Sunbird (siparaja ), Sulawesi Sunbird (flavostriata, beccarii ) Bird Family : Nectariniini - Sunbirds & Spiderhunters Bird Group : PASSERIFORMES Red Data Status : Least Concern Remarks : Acacia mangium .
I saw a family unit of four birds from some distance. I observed them feeding on the nectar of the Acacia mangium and a wild Ipomoea species, both new food sources. Earlier I had seen a juvenile feed on a cultivated Holmskioldia sanguinea (the Chinese Top Hat plant) an exotic plant that is a particular favourite of this sunbird.
In the past I have also seen the Olive-backed Sunbird Cinnyris jugularis feed on Acacia mangium nectar. - Amar
