A pair of sunbirds live right outside my front door. I planted these flowers, and a few others, because I know they like to sip nectar from these flowers, and it has worked like a charm. For those who live in the Americas who are familiar with hummingbirds, sunbirds are the equivalent birds in Australia, through Asia and Africa. They are typically not quite as small as hummingbirds, but are usually very colourful, and can hover to sip nectar out of flowers. This is a male Olive-backed or Yellow-bellied sunbird.
