    I have a sunbird building a nest on my washing line on the balcony of my apartment on Sukhumvit road. What can I do to help and encourage it?

    Don't disturb the washing line and if you have any plants do not use pesticides on them - the birds will eat the insects.

    Your enthusiasm for your birdwatching is contagious. I felt like a neighbor sharing our community sunbirds. Lovely, thank you.

    What adorable birds - and another great lens. I've never seen a sunbird so it was good to be able to watch a couple of the videos you posted.

    Similar. A case of convergent evolution; hummingbirds in the New World, sunbirds in the Old World.[in reply to spirituality]

    I love your lenses! I also love the olive-backed sunbirds - we have them up north in Australia too. .
