If you’ve ever seen a flash of yellow fly by, it might’ve been the Olive-backed Sunbird (
Nectarinia jugularis)! It’s named for its nectar-feeding habits, which is why it’s often found near flowers in our forests and parks. It has a quick wing beat, which makes it resemble a hummingbird.
Listen out for its crisp “tweet-tweet” and you just might spot this sunbird hovering nearby.
