5. Pale-Billed Flowerpecker
Pale billed Flowerpecker
Pale-billed flowerpeckers (Dicaeum erythrorhynchos) are known to be the smallest birds spotted in South Asian countries.
They are tiny and grow only up to 3.15 inches, and can weigh a maximum of 0.28 ounces. The pinkish color of the beaks of these birds is why they are named ‘pale-billed flowerpecker.’
Typically found in urban areas, mangrove forests, and deciduous forests. Omnivorous birds prey on small insects and spiders.
The pale-billed flowerpecker breed during January and June but are known to have raised another brood, although only in specific regions.
