Orange-breasted Sunbird
(Anthobaphes violacea)

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, Cape Town, South Africa

This beautiful sunbird was a welcome surprise for us while exploring the botanical garden. Although
Africa has no hummingbirds, a wide variety of sunbirds fill that niche. Sunbirds feed largely on
nectar, although they will also take insects, especially when feeding young.
