Unlike many hummingbird species, sunbirds have brightly colored, sometimes iridescent feathers. The tongue of the sunbird is covered with bristles and it has a thin, downward curving bill. The males and females of these species display sexual dimorphism, which means that they are different in color.
Generally, the coloration of the males is more distinguishable. Purple-rumped Sunbirds (Leptocoma zeylonica) exhibit a variety of beautiful colors. Approximately 10 cm in length, purple-rumped sunbirds are tiny birds.
Adapted for feeding on nectar, their long, thin, down-curved bills and moist-tipped tubes are both perfect for feeding on nectar. It is active during the daytime and lives in pairs or small groups. When the breeding season is in full swing, they aggressively defend their territories.
Several metallic green colors adorn the crown and shoulder patch of the male, as well as dark brown underparts, a whitish flank, a purple rump, and a yellow throat.
Female Purple-rumped Sunbirds are pale yellow above and light grayish-brown below. Uppersides of females are olive to brownish and uppertail coverts are black; a weak supercilium may be seen. Male Purple-rumped Sunbirds can be distinguished from female Purple Sunbirds by their grayish-white (not yellow) throats.
The males have deep maroon uppersides and a blue-green crown with gleaming edges, bright green shoulder patches, and violet rump patches that are hidden beneath the wings. During the monsoon season, purple-rumped sunbirds lay two broods and breed throughout the year.
The nest has an exterior studded with bark pieces, lichens, flying seeds, and other materials, and is made from fine plant fibers, cobwebs, and other materials. Females construct nests alone, although males may accompany them.
Purple-rumped Sunbirds are often hovering about picking up insects and flowers for nectar. It is possible for them to visit crops and eat honeydew released by leafhoppers. It is often tweeting “tityou, tityou, trritt, tityou.” is the song’s climax. This species breeds most commonly in the southern parts of India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
