Olive-Backed Sunbird

• Australia’s answer to the hummingbird!
• The females have a bright yellow chest, whereas the males have a metallic blue chest
• Their diet consists of nectar from flowers and insects – predominantly spiders plucked from webs
• Sunbirds build their nests in close proximity to humans where their young can gain some form of protection from predators
• They have a beautiful song and will quite often sing while hanging upside down on wires or branches
