Elizabeth TaiThe return of the sunbirds🌱 If you’re following my website via RSS or subscription, please note that this is just a “seedling” or a post where it is a work in progress. Please return to this page to see updates 🙂11 March, 2025The sunbirds are back building a new nest (far right vine). I hope it will be completed soon! 🥰14 March 2025 So, each time a Sunbird couple’s chick grows up, they leave the nest behind. The last couple left a fully intact nest but over time the vine it was built on withered. One day, it fell. I was a little superstitious and it felt like a shame to get rid of it, so I kept it. (Don’t laugh.) Then, a new sunbird couple started building a new nest on a different vine. I thought to myself: Won’t it be nice if they didn’t have to fly so far to gather their supplies and reuse the old nest? So, I placed the next on the branches of a shrub near the nest. I noticed that they liked to perch there from time to time, so I hoped that they would notice the old nest and reuse it.It worked! They started picking apart the old nest and using the materials to build the new nest. The old nest is now half its size. Nature at work is so beautiful!15 March, 2025Sunbirds recycle 😆🤭I placed an old nest on the shrub and now its just taking it apart to build a new nest. Aren’t they clever?Feeling semi proud that I got the idea of placing the old nest in the bush where the current sunbirds couple likes to hang out. Seeing them peck at the old nest and fly the bits that they have from it to the new nest is really satisfying 😆Previous visitationsTheir first visitation in 2022: <a href="https://elizabethtai.com/2023/11/22/when-sunbirds-built-a-nest-in-my-balcony/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">When sunbirds built a nest in my balcony</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://elizabethtai.com/tag/seedling/" target="_blank">#seedling</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://elizabethtai.com/tag/sunbird/" target="_blank">#Sunbird</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://elizabethtai.com/tag/sunbirds/" target="_blank">#Sunbirds</a>

Elizabeth Tai | 戴秀铃 🇲🇾After the sunbird couple left with their chick, another pair promptly moved in days later. The chick has finally hatched and I can its squeaks each time the parents come around to feed it.

Elizabeth Tai | 戴秀铃 🇲🇾Bird nest building in full swing! I see two of them together sometimes, hopping about the branches of my garden plants. So cute. They go back and forth a few times a day, and at night they go somewhere else to sleep.

KarinWandererI thought Hummingbirds lived everywhere, but I recently learned they only live in the Americas. Turns out the brightly colored avian nectarivores in Africa & Asia are Sunbirds!
