| Abstract: | This study has been undertaken to investigate the ecological role of Cinnyris asiaticus (Purple Sunbird). The small size, bright purple colour plumage, down-curved pointed bill with brush-tipped tubular tongue and short square tail are the characteristic features to recognize the Cinnyris asiaticus. The study was carried out near rural, suburban and urban plains and hills of the Pune city (Maharashtra). Pune city is rich in avian fauna and represent huge bird diversity in its various regions. The thin forests, plains and green lands is the main habitat of all purple sunbirds. They can be found in the city area in the search of food and to find place to build their nests. They are the resident birds and do not move longer distances. They mostly live on tree branches in thin forests, gardens and green lands of Pune city. The bird mainly sucks nectar of flowers, but it also eats fruits, insects and worms. The bird sucks the nectar with the help of its brush-tipped tubular tongue. These birds can be seen in pairs (during breeding season) or have gregarious habit to live in groups in gardens and thin forests. They show prominent sexual dimorphism. During breeding season, males are brightly purple in colour with a metallic glossy bluish tinge on their shoulders with a marron shiny patches can be seen on the collar of their stout neck. Non-breeding males have brown and black body feathers and yellow underside with a prominent black streak in the middle. Females have olive brown plumage above and yellow underside. They show courtship behavior where the male birds make specific mating calls to attract females during the breeding season. Male birds raise its heads, fans his tail and display his metallic glossy feathers along with yellow pectoral tufts. They mate by cloacal apposition. The nest is built by female sunbird and is made using the twigs, branches, cobwebs and barks of trees. The nest can be seen hanging downward from the tree branches in the gardens and also from the cable wires near residential buildings. The female lay two eggs in the nest. Parental care is found in sunbirds. The eggs are incubated by the female sunbird only. The male sunbird assists in feeding the chicks with worms and help them to fly along with female parent. |
