This bird spends much of its day moving rapidly between flowers while feeding on nectar with its curved bill and brush-like tongue. Mrs. Gould’s Sunbird lives across parts of Southeast Asia and is constantly active, rarely staying still for long. Besides nectar, it also eats tiny insects for extra protein, especially during breeding season. Their hanging nests are surprisingly delicate and are often attached to thin branches where predators have a harder time reaching them.
