It was a "National Geographic" moment. I was proven right. Mama sunbird was indeed building a nest for its newborn. The nest houses two tiny chicks. Each day, Papa and mama sunbirds will take turn to feed the babies. At night, only mama bird is seen returning to the nest to take care of the birds. The same routine is repeated each day. Very soon, the little chicks will fledge, and the entire family will migrate, leaving behind the lovely nest for remembrance.

Amazing! I recently witnessed a sunbird weaving its nest on a friend's bamboo, too!
Nice pictures and thanks for sharing the moment.
Nature at your doorstep. :)
hello there,
a quick update on the sunbird - the little birds had fledged, and the entire family had migrated! it happened too fast (2 to 3 weeks from birth). didn't take long for the feathers to grow. it's really amazing how the chicks instinctively knew how to fly!
