Brwon-throated Sunbird at the Sarawak Museum grounds, Kuching 4 April'15 |
It is one of the most beautiful garden birds in Sarawak. Today, while having a walk at the grounds of the Sarawak Museum gardens I chanced upon it. The Sarawak Museum gardens is still the best place for a quick walk for viewing a good collection of the hibiscus flowers on any regular day. The Brown-throated Sunbird was seen busy doing its rounds of nectar sipping among the hibiscus flowers. I guess surviving in an urban environment requires it to be 'people-friendly' and this behaviour enabled me to have a closer look at its colourful personality. It was oblivious to the crowd of people that were having their walks and photo taking sessions at the garden.
