Cape Sugarbird
Description
The Cape Sugarbird (Promerops cafer) is a striking grey-brown bird, easily identifiable by the bright yellow spot under its tail and the long tail feathers found in males. Males range from 34 to 44 cm in length, while females are shorter, measuring 25 to 29 cm, with shorter tails, bills, and a paler breast. One of its most notable features is the distinctive “frrt-frrt” sound it makes in flight, produced by its long tail feathers. This noise is believed to play a role in attracting mates.
The Cape Sugarbird is commonly found throughout the fire-adapted Fynbos ecosystems of South Africa, where flowering Proteas and Ericas dominate the landscape. It prefers areas that haven’t recently burned and is rarely seen in freshly burned regions. During the summer, when Proteas are not in bloom, the bird can also be spotted in gardens.
