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

The Golden-winged Sunbird (Nectarinia reichenowi) is a species of bird in the Nectariniidae family. It is found in Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. It is sometimes placed in the monotypic genus Drepanorhynchus. References - 1. ^ Clements, James F. (2000) The Clements Checklist of the Birds of the World * BirdLife International 2004. Nectarinia reichenowi. More

Habitat: Golden-winged sunbirds live in grassland, bamboo thickets, and tropical mountain forest. Groups of golden-winged sunbirds defend the area where they feed against other birds that might feed on the nectar. They feed when the nectar has built up to a level so that the whole group can feed. (A. J. Deane/Bruce Coleman Inc. Reproduced by permission.) Diet: These sunbirds eat mainly nectar, with some insect fare. More

Bronzy Sunbirds and Golden-winged Sunbirds were sympatric at the study site near the south shore of Lake Naivasha, Kenya, at an altitude of 1900 m. Bronzy Sunbird males divided a dense stand of leonotis (Leono- tis nepetifolia) growing on irrigated land into foraging territories. Golden- Winged sunbirds sometimes entered these territories. Both species' bills conform closely to the shape of the leonotis flower, and both species feed from the flowers efficiently (Gill and Wolf 1978). More
