This picture of the purple rumped sunbird was taken 30 miles from our parents home in the hills of south India at Kallar horticulture and fruit garden - part of the Nilgris biosphere reserve. The bird actually likes this particular pink powder puff flower (Calliandra).

Great shot. The sunbirds are notoriously fast movers and are not easy targets.

Second viewing: You sound surprised! I have a beautiful Indian Ringneck Parakeet, and she begs to try anything I eat๐Ÿค” If I made a list for you, you might not believe it No accounting for bird food preferences ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Thank you Jabra. You are absolutely correct. They are fast and not easy to capture.
