Please help me identify this cute little fella

Hey Everyone!!

 

Need your help to identify this bird.

I couldnt get a picture of his partner.Her primary colour is yellow with white breast and black wings.

They weaved their nest that looks like a pouch with side entrance.

Did a lot of search to find out its name,.

Can someone please help me to find out its name?

 

 

  • Hi blueb

    Where did you see this because it's not a native British bird? It looks to me like some sort of sunbird (typically African) but I don't know which species. It's always helpful to know where a bird is seen if asking for an ID.

  • Hi,

    The picture was taken in India, the bird was also spotted in Africa as you said(found it while google search).

    Picture was taken during early February in India,

    There was a partner along with the one in the picture.

    The partner was yellow colored.

    Both together made their nest that looks like a hanging pouch with side entrance.

    The yellow bird used to sit in the nest all day all night.(No eggs of course)

    The blue one used to come and visit.

    They deserted the nest last week and flew away

    Will post the pictures of nest soon

    Thank you TeeJay for the  reply

  • Hey,,, Sorry for starting two threads,,,,
