The bird's underparts and breast are glistening metallic crimson, green and
purple in color. Lower parts are yellow. It has a metallic bluish purple rump.
Its breeding and non-breeding plumages are alike. It is found in pairs, in
wooded country. In quest of nectar, it is responsible for cross-pollinating numerous species of flowers. The male sings excitedly while pivoting on his perch from side to side and opening and closing his wings and tail. The female alone builds and incubates; male helps in feeding the young.
