The purple-rumped sunbird (Leptocoma zeylonica), endemic to the Indian subcontinent, is a sexually dimorphic species. Males are distinguished by their green crown, brown body, yellow underside, and purple rump, while females have a grey-brown back and yellow underside. Primarily feeding on nectar, they play a vital role as pollinators in scrub forests and cultivated areas, where they are commonly found. Their nests are constructed using foliage, bark, and other materials, and typically house a clutch of two eggs, which incubate for approximately 14 to 16 days.
