	Welcome to the WWT Official Website
		All 124 species of these three families are illustrated on 32 original colour plates, and the detailed text covers all aspects of each species’ identification.
		Sunbirds is the first book since the 19th Century to cover in detail all the world’s Sunbirds and spiderhunters – the Nectarinidae.
		This is primarily an identification guide, using colour plates and photographs to illustrate the various races and plumages, but the text also covers the biology, habitat and range of each species.

	A Narrative of the Expedition to the River Niger, Volume II, Chapter 7
		The purple-headed grakle, Lamprotornis ptilonorynchus; the golden-eared grakle, Lamprotornis chrysonotis; and a third, supposed to be new; all of them were plumed in dark colours of rich metallic tint.
		The most interesting, however, are the little nectarinidae, of these the olive-backed sunbird, Cinnyris chloronatus; the red-collared sunbird, Cinnyris chalybeia; the green-rumped double-collared sunbird, Nectarinia chloropygia.
		A beautiful species, one of which we sent to England by Dr. Stanger, after whom it was named, Cinnyris Stangeri, is very abundant and the colours fine, being red, yellow, and other less gaudy tints, blended with rich metallic green.

		Belt saw them sucking the flowers of Marcgravia and Erythina, and thus they carried pollen from flower to flower.
		I have been assured that at the Cape of Good Hope, Strelitzia is fertilised by the Nectarinidae.
		There can hardly be a doubt that many Australian flowers are fertilised by the many honey-sucking birds of that country.

		But the plantation failed and he went back to Europe to a highly successful career as an illustrator.
		His observations of sunbirds, remembered from Africa, combined with his general knowledge of the species enabled him to depict these birds for Shelley's Monograph of the Nectarinidae, 1876.
		He worked most of his life in London illustrating, among other works, the massive twenty seven volume Catalogue of the Birds in the British Museum published in 27 volumes from 1874 to 1898.

	Goldblatt et al. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Based on a characteristic floral presentation and sightings of sunbirds on many flowers with similar morphology, 64 species of Iridaceae in eight genera, Babiana, Chasmanthe, Crocosmia, Gladiolus, Tritoniopsis, Watsonia (subfamily Ixioideae), Klattia, and Witsenia (Nivenioideae), are inferred to be pollinated by five sunbird species (Nectarinia: Nectarinidae) in southern Africa.
		In Ixioideae bird flowers are typified primarily by red to orange colors, gullet or flag forms with elongate floral tubes mostly 30 to 60 mm in length, and exserted unilateral stamens.
		L'aspect caractéristique de 64 espèces d'Iridiaceae de morphologie florale similaire, ainsi que l'observation d'un grand nombre d'oiseaux, suggèrent qu'en Afrique australe, la pollinisation s'effectue grâce à cinq espèces de souimangas (Nectarinia: Nectarinidae) dans huit genres d'Iridaceae subfam.

		Marungu sunbird (Nectarinia prigoginei).--1991 petition, ICBP endangered, U.S. endangered; a nectar-feeding bird of the family Nectarinidae, characterized by small size and a long bill, somewhat comparable to the hummingbirds superficially; known only from the Marungu Highlands of southeastern Zaire.
		The remnant riparian forest on which this species probably depends now covers only a small part of the Marungu Highlands and is under severe pressure from logging and from the erosion of stream banks caused by the overgrazing of cattle (A).
