Though mostly found singly or in pairs, larger numbers may concentrate on favorite flowering trees, where they act aggressively towards other sunbird species. The complex song is a loud, sustained twittering.[3] Food includes emergent termites, spiders, and nectar. In courtship, a male will hop about a branch near a female, drop one wing, then the other, and finally both wings. The wings will then be fluttered and displayed. A responsive female may lower her head, and assume a rigid posture.[5]
