Palestine Sunbird

Overview

The Palestine sunbird (Cinnyris osea) is a small passerine bird of the sunbird family, Nectariniidae. Found in parts of the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa, it is also known as the northern orange-tufted sunbird. However, the name "orange-tufted sunbird" refers to another species, found further south in Africa. In 2015 the Palestinian Authority adopted the species as a national bird, after it lost in Israel's national bird public vote in 2008 in favor of the hoopoe.
