                          Brown-throated sunbird

A family of sunbirds came to visit us on April 7, 2021 here in Kuching Sarawak and have been coming back daily since then. Mom an dad arrived with four fledgelings in  tow looking for a safe place to leave the family amongst our orchids while they went about foraging to feed this hungry mob. This went on for a few days with the family coming early in the morning and leaving before nightfall. On April 10 only two of the youngsters arrived and then on the April 15 only one arrived, but this little fellow stayed with us for another two weeks. It has been an entertaining time for us watching this family. The two in the photos below, sure did like to mimic each other.
