Description from the seller
Remarkable naturalized specimen of Gould’s Sunbird (Aethopyga gouldiae), a tropical passerine of rare elegance, often compared to hummingbirds for the finesse of its silhouette and the intensity of its colors.

Plumage: Chest and cap in dazzling scarlet red, bright luminous yellow belly, olive back and long pointed blue-black tail feathers with violet metallic reflections.
Morphology: Fine, delicately curved beak, typical of its nectar-feeding lifestyle.
Artistic mounting: Presented perched in a very natural manner at the top of a beautiful driftwood branch sculpted by time, itself fixed on a round black lacquered turned-wood base with a vegetal-moss finish.

Common name: Gould’s Sunbird / Mrs. Gould’s Sunbird
Scientific name: Aethopyga gouldiae
Geographic origin: Asia (Himalayan regions and Southeast Asia)
Status: Excellent conservation condition. Neat plumage, vibrant colors and perfect maintenance.
