The White-bellied Sunbird has a height of 11 cms and weighs around 7 gms. The head is coloured green while the bill is coloured black. The Cinnyris talatala has a green coloured throat, black legs and a green coloured back. The eyes are brown.The male Cinnyris talatala has physical features that are slightly different from the female bird.

The Cinnyris talatala attacks its prey aerially and feeds on wing or takes the prey to a secluded venue where it is killed, torn into small pieces and eaten.This bird is a noctunal feeder and is able to forage in the dark because of the enhanced night vision. It also forages at this time because that's when the prey comes out in the open.This bird eats insects such as butterflies, bees, wasps, locusts and ants. These invertebrates are usually hawked aerially, killed and then eaten.

The White-bellied Sunbird is mainly found in light and densely wooded forests, where there are Mopane trees.The nest is built high up in the tree canopy and is protected from predators by branches and the dense green foliage.The bird is at home in riverine forests and close to water bodies such as lakes, dams and streams.This bird is very common in most of the Southern African Forests.for cute images...

The full-grown Brolga is a tall, mid-grey to silver-grey crane, 0.7–1.3 m (3.3–4.3 ft) high, with a wingspan of 1.7–2.4 m (5.6–7.9 ft), and a broad red band extending from the straight, bone-coloured bill around the back of the head. Juveniles lack the red band. Adult males average at a little under 7 kg (15 lb), females a little under 6 kg (13 lb). The weight can range from 3.7 to 8.7 kg (8.1-19.2 lb).

The Brolga can easily be confused with the Sarus Crane, however the latter's red head colouring extends partly down the neck while the Brolga's is confined to the head. Additionally, in Australia the range of the Sarus is limited to a few scattered localities in northern Australia, compared to the more widespread distribution of the Brolga.

Brolga are omnivorous and eat a variety of wetland plants, insects, invertebrates, and amphibians. They also eat wetland and upland plants, seeds, mollusks, and crustaceans. Northern Australian populations of Brolga are fond of the tubers of the bulkuru sedge which they dig holes to extract but this is not available south of Brisbane.for more pics...
