EDITORS COMMENTS
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Sunbird! This fearless female Amethyst/Black Sunbird takes flight from her cozy nest attached to Christmas fairy lights on a verandah in Grahamstown, South Africa. With chicks just 12 days old, this suburban garden bird knows how to combine motherhood with holiday spirit! As the sun sets and the lights start to twinkle, this nectarivore beauty gracefully departs from her unique nesting structure. Who needs a traditional tree when you can have a sunbird nursery adorned with festive decorations? It's an unusual sight that adds a touch of quirkiness to the neighborhood. The vibrant amethyst and black feathers of these sunbirds perfectly complement the colorful Christmas lights surrounding their home. It's like they're spreading joy not only through their chirping melodies but also through their dazzling display. This snapshot captures nature's ability to adapt and thrive even amidst human festivities. The juxtaposition of wildlife and decoration creates an enchanting scene that reminds us of the magic found in unexpected places. So next time you deck your halls with boughs of holly or hang up those twinkling lights, remember that even our feathered friends appreciate a little holiday cheer. And who knows what other surprises Mother Nature has in store for us if we keep our eyes open!
