A bird perched on a pale diagonal stem with green background from a bush.. honeyeater bird has black and white streaks on chest, yellow on wing and top of tail, white eye with black head and open bill with long tongue showing during his very loud tweeting and singing! I snapped this photo with my canon as he opened his bill.

A drawing, across the double pages of a sketchbook; of a crested bird - head and shoulders in silhouette, looking to the left. Its plumage is black and orange - the latter concentrated around the eye and nape of the neck. The materials used: yellow, orange, brown and black Derwent pastel pencils, are shown to the right of the drawing

if the Scarlet Forest won't gain a nectarivore giant bug monster in the expansion then I've completely given up hope on getting a giant bug monster again

a NECTARIVORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is an [ENTITY] which derives its energy and nutrient requirements from a diet consisting mainly or exclusively of the sugar-rich nectar produced by flowering plants!

Bird Book of the Dead no. 38 - Kaua'i 'akialoa

We've met a couple of the Hawaiian honeycreepers already (and there are many more to go) and here we have one that lived up to the name and was a nectarivore, specialising in lobelias and the nedemic 'ohi'a flowers.
An illustration of a Kaua'i 'akialoa - a small olive green bird with an enormous long curved slender beak.

Happy to share our results on vertical stratification of plant-nectarivore interactions during the symposium on "Studying rainforest canopies with camera traps" at #ATBC2025

Meaning of #melífago It means that he feeds on honey, that he eats honey. Melero. It can be considered as a synonym for nectivore or nectarivore (which feeds on nectar). It can also be a typing error due to melifuge... melífago

Orange-breasted sunbird by Dr Dionne Miles - an endemic nectarivore, one of my very favorite birds in the hand. I studied their vulnerability and adaptation to climate and wildfire in the South African fynbos, a global biodiversity hotspot and the smallest (fire-driven) botanical kingdom. 🔥

🐝 Sur ma main, le xylocope (chouette mot pour le Scrabble) Xylocopa violacea, grosse abeille nectarivore qui recommence à pointer le bout de ses mandibules en ce début de printemps.

Ça fait quasiment 40 ans que je les observe et je ne m'en lasse jamais. 😅

Aww! The pygmy possum! (Cercartetus concinnus). This species weighs just 0.5 oz, the size of an AA battery. This tiny marsupial is a nectarivore, its diet consists of plant nectar. It inhabits forest treetops in parts of Australia, using its long prehensile tail like a fifth limb to move about.

Behold the western pygmy possum! This dainty marsupial typically weighs ~0.5 oz (14 g)—that's about as much as a AA battery! It inhabits treetops in forests throughout parts of Australia. As a nectarivore, it mainly feeds on plant nectar.

A photo of a pygmy possum clinging to a human thumb. The animal has a curly pink tail and somewhat resembles a light brown mouse.

On la retrouve surtout dans les forêts dégradées, ce que je trouvais parfait comme parallèle avec les zones de siccités (là où il y a les miasmes) du jeu ! C'est aussi une espèce qui a un rôle important pour les forêts puisqu'elle est nectarivore/ frugivore et aide donc à la dispersion des graines~🦇

Is this the largest hummingbird ever? Although it may look like a popular fluttering nectarivore, what is pictured is actually a beautifully detailed and colorful aurora, complete with rays reminiscent of feathers.

Auroral Hummingbird over Norway

Is this the largest hummingbird ever? Although it may look like a popular fluttering nectarivore, what is pictured is actually a beautifully detailed and colorful aurora, complete with rays reminiscent of feathers. This aurora was so bright that it was visible to the unaided eye during blue hour -- just after sunset when the sky appears a darkening blue. However, the aurora only looked like a hummingbird through a sensitive camera able to pick up faint glows. As reds typically occurring higher in the Earth's atmosphere than the greens, the real 3D shape of this aurora would likely appear unfamiliar. Auroras are created when an explosion on the Sun causes high energy particles to flow into the Earth's atmosphere and excite atoms and molecules of nitrogen and oxygen. The featured image was captured about two weeks ago above Lyngseidt, Norway.

I once encountered a gardener in Betty’s Bay, South Africa who had inadvertently killed 52 Cape sugarbirds (a beautiful endemic nectarivore) by using xylitol in a nectar bird feeder. Be careful. So many deadly poisons, many seeming quite innocent.
