Here you are watching an orange-tufted sunbird nest located in Israel.
These birds are not hummingbirds but rather are sunbirds. Sunbirds and hummingbirds appear to be remarkably similar in appearance and size size, and they both subsist primarily on nectar and on small insects. Hummingbirds are found in the New World and Sunbirds in the Old World and they are not related all. The sunbird and the hummingbird are two distinct animals belonging to different orders of birds. In fact the Hummingbirds come from the order Apodiformes and sunbirds are Songbirds (Passeriformes). Hummingbirds are typically better flyers and are able to hover wild feeder while Sunbirds typically need to perch to feed. The physical and behavioral similarities between the two is a good example of a phenomenon referred to as “convergent evolution.” Convergent evolution is described as the case of two or more totally unrelated species that independently evolve similar physiologies and features due to the similarities in their respective natural habitats.
