Observation details
We spotted our Purple Sunbirds (PUSU) including two-three immature, foraging at the roadside flowering Calotropis gigantea (আকন্দগাছ). One of them was an immature male, which seemed bold and even showed some interest in three of us human. In between foraging, took time in checking us out and even returning after leaving once as we got too close. Nevertheless, we adopted and these provided enough time to watch these lively birds jumping around flowers and sipping nectar.
