The Jewel of the Fynbos: The Orange-breasted Sunbird

If the Cape Floral Kingdom had a crown, the Orange-breasted Sunbird (Anthobaphes violacea) would be its dazzling jewel. This stunning little bird, found only in South Africa, is a true fynbos specialist—draped in iridescent greens, fiery oranges, and golden yellows, it flits through the landscape like a living ember.
