Description

Temminck's sunbird (Aethopyga temminckii) is a species of sunbird. It is found in up to 1800 m altitude in Borneo, Sumatra, Malaysia, and south west Thailand in tropical moist montane forests. This bird's common name and Latin binomial commemorate the Dutch aristocrat and zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck. It has been considered conspecific with Javan sunbird, Aethopyga mystacalis. The Temminck's sunbird is 10 cm (female) -12.5 cm (male) long. The longer-tailed male is mostly scarlet, except for a greyish belly, yellow and purple bands between the back and tail, and four purple bands on the head emanating from the beak. The female is drab olive, except for rufous fringes to the wing and tail feathers.

Temminck's Sunbird has a diet comprising nectar, especially from mistletoe, and small arthropods. It forages alone or in pairs and may mingle in mixed-species flocks. It’s versatile, foraging at all forest levels, but favors the canopy.
Habitat
The temminck's Sunbird typically inhabits lowland and hill forests dominated by dipterocarp trees, as well as lower montane and peat swamp forests. These environments are characterized by a rich diversity of flora, offering abundant nectar sources that are essential for the bird's diet. The temminck's Sunbird can be found in these forest habitats across broad tropical regions, where the climate is generally humid and supports a biodiverse ecosystem.
