The Purple-throated Sunbird is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
A pair of Purple-throated Sunbird (Leptocoma sperata) was photographed on a branch by Dr Jonathan Cheah Weng Kwong. The male sunbird flew to a perch and started preening. Soon a female arrived, perching a little distance away. Noticing the female, he started his courtship display. He stretched out his body, with his bill pointing skywards. This puffed out his breast, displaying his rufous maroon chest and stretched his chin and throat, the better to display their metallic purple feathers. More
The Purple-throated Sunbird (right) is just one of 14 species in the Philippines, and six of them are endemic (Purple-throated is not one of the endemics as it ranges widely on the Asian mainland). Endemism is high in sunbirds, and quite a number are restricted to single islands in Lesser Sundas or the Indian Ocean. Charles Sibley continued his work on taxonomy until his death. More
