The Yellow-vented Flowerpecker is a tiny, active bird, characterized by its dark upperparts, pale underparts, and a distinctive bright yellow patch on its vent (undertail coverts).
Where to spot
Found across Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei, inhabiting forests, forest edges, and cultivated areas, often near fruiting trees.
How to spot
Look for it in the canopy and mid-story of forests and gardens, especially around flowering or fruiting plants. Its small size and rapid movements make it hard to track, but the yellow vent is a consistent identification feature.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active throughout the day, often seen feeding on mistletoe or other fruit.
