This tiny Sun-bird is plentiful in Nandi. At present they 

 are in pairs. Like all Sun-birds, they are always more in 

 evidence when the various bushes and plants are in flower. 

 The kitchen-gardens, where broad beans and Cape goose- 

 berries are in flower, also the " red-hot poker '' and the 

 plants with long tubular flowers, are a great attraction. They 

 are tame, confiding little birds, and will dart and flit about 

 and chase each other in play within a few yards of anyone 

 standing still for a few minutes. Another trait is their 

 pugnacity ; two cock birds, when they meet, will invariably 

 fight until one drives the other away.
