Previous work from the Trinity School of Natural Sciences identified two species of white-eye birds from the same area, which has been recognised by international conservation organisations as a Key Biodiversity Area. Spiders & Alternate Uses – Not only do sunbirds sometimes feed on spiders, but many species also use spider webs to help hold their nests together. This is a behavior that they share with many other small species of birds, including hummingbirds.
