Plain-throated Sunbird

The Brown-throated Sunbird is a relatively large, heavy sunbird with a thick bill. Measuring some 14 centimetres in length, it has a mass of 7.4–13.5 g , with males averaging slightly larger than females.

The Plain-throated Sunbird is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

Plain-throated Sunbird, is a species of bird in the Nectariniidae family. It is found in a wide range of semi-open habitats in south-east Asia, ranging from Myanmar to the Lesser Sundas and west Philippines. The Grey-throated Sunbird found in the remaining part of the Philippines is often considered a subspecies of the Brown-throated Sunbird, but the two differ consistently in measurements and plumage, and there is no evidence of intergradation between them.

The female Plain-throated Sunbird in her duller coat….life’s unfair isn’t it? 3. They both have long and slim bills adapted for collecting nectar from flowers. Indeed, the similarities in Sunbird and Hummingbird morphology (form and shape of the animal) can be explained by evolution convergent, whereby two unrelated groups of animals acquire similar physical trait(s) due to them occupying similar ecological niches.

The Plain-throated Sunbird is the rather uninspiring English name for a little avian gem, at least in the case of the male. Some 14 centimeters long with a slender, down-curved bill typical of Sunbirds, the male Plain-throated has a bright yellow belly, dark upper parts with green and violet iridescence and a metallic-purple border to that plain throat. The female is, as usual amongst Sunbirds, much dowdier. More

This female plain-throated Sunbird always came close to about five meters from my windows at work eating those parasite plant when it flowers. I managed to catch this one and her colorful partner. The bird is very small and very difficult to capture a good one in the open. More

Fine capture of a Plain-throated Sunbird: though it is a bit soft, the details are seen and it's in a good pose taken from an excellent POV. On our visit to the Singapore Botanical Gdns., I noticed that Strelitzias attract sunbirds and I saw the Crimson and Olive-backed but not this species, so it's nice to see this shot. More
