Sugarbird

Origin	The Gurney's sugarbird is found from Zimbabwe southwards, except the extreme south of South Africa, where it is replaced by the Cape sugarbird in the Cape provinces of South Africa.
Size	Can grow up to 17.3 in(44 cm)
Colours	Brown, silver, grey, black, copper, yellow, red.
Lifespan	Can live 5+ years
Noise	Mild
Characteristics	In both species the tail of the male is longer than the female, although the difference is more pronounced in the Cape sugarbird. In overall body size the males are slightly larger and heavier than the females. Both species have long and slender bills that are slightly curved, and again the females have a slightly shorter bill, leading to differences in feeding niches. The skull and tongue morphology of the sugarbirds is very similar to that of the honeyeaters, the result of convergent evolution. The tongue is long and protrusible, and is tubular and frilled at the end.
Interaction/Time Requirements, Diet, Supplies Needed	These birds eat mainly nectar and small in sects. Provide a humming bird feeder for best results. You need to change food and water twice daily, and clean the cage at least once a day, replacing toys and broken climbing branches. A minimum of 12 inches long, 14 inches wide, and 12 inches high. Space is important and indoor cages should be as large as possible. A large cage is required even if the bird is going to spend lots of time out of its habitat with you. Aviaries are sold ready for home assembly. Most are a rectangular design, with a mesh covered flight, and smaller shelter area, in which the birds are fed and can take shelter from the bad weather. They require a warm habitat for the winter months. Do not allow your birds outdoors until all signs of frost are gone.
