Ruby-Cheeked Sunbird Fun Fact: A fun fact about the ruby-cheeked sunbird is that, unlike many other sunbirds that primarily feed on nectar, this species has a more varied diet that includes insects and spiders. This gives it an advantage in feeding its chicks, as it provides them with much-needed protein. The sunbird’s name comes from the striking, iridescent red patch on its cheek, which adds to its colorful appearance!
