areas keeping its tail up. It is 'Tuntuni' in Bangla.
They don't afraid of us.
Its head reddish, lower part of body is white and upper part olive-green.
Though they are small, their voice is very high. They call like
"to-eet to-eet...".
Small insects to nectar of flowers - all of these are their food. They
build their nests in monsoon. Their nest looks like a container - made
of soft cotton, hair and thin creeps and it is a good instance of fine
technology.
Two stiched leaves surround their nest.
They lay 3-4 eggs.
'Tuntuni' can be seen across India. But they are permanent resident of Bengal.
One can see their at Eden Garden in Kolkata.--
