This zone includes a module with a display containing seven hummingbirds and a sunbird. |
Loten's sunbird ventures some 2500 feet higher, and has been seen in the vicinity of Coonoor. |
The nest of the sunbird is one of the most wonderful pieces of architecture in the world, and it is the work of the hen alone. |
Scimitar-babblers are so called because of the long, slender, compressed beak, which is curved downwards like that of a sunbird. |
The immunity of the sunbird is due chiefly to the inaccessibility of the nest. |
Moreover, a tiny creature such as a sunbird is almost as light as the proverbial feather. |
