Sunbird attacks itself....
July 23, 2010
Yes, yes, I know, the leopard post is due….
After Kabini, we decided to visit Bandipur as well, and come home late at night…and as soon as we stopped there, at the washbasin of the Pugmarks Restaurant, I found this
PURPLE-RUMPED SUNBIRD
male fly into the mirrors in a hostile, attacking mode…he was obviously fighting off what he thought was another male!
Afterwards, I watched it attack a real male, too, at the Hibiscus bushes.
Can you believe, I was stupid enough not to think of taking a video of this?
