Somebody who may concern
I am living in Discovery bay, I saw some small birds which is very small, and I compare the picture with the sun bird in this mail, it seems that they are same, but the mouth is much longer and they fly steady in the air without landing on the plant when they suck the flower honey. I could not confirm they are sun bird or Humming bird, can you tell me thge difference.
How did Sun bird fly, did they steady in the air when fly

Hi Lawrence,

I think it should be a Humming Bird Hawk Moth!

Many people get them mix up with humming birds n sunbirds :P, they do look like the humming birds but if u look closely, u can c the "beak" is a long sucker which they suck honey out of the flower! :) lovely creature.
