Dear Eric Bakhtawar,
I am sorry to say that I have no experience in breeding birds. Law is sort of silent as sunbirds come under least threatened category. But you will have to check with law authorities regarding breeding these wild birds. I have not seen them as pets any where here.
Regards

I am interested in breeding sunbirds ( since hummingbirds do not exist here ) and then selling a complete package to a customer profile where they are kept in open and will add more to nature.
Have no previous experience in birds and bird watching but I am sure that I will be able to sell my concept.
Please let me know whether this is possible and that the law will allow it.
I shall be grateful.

Thanks to you, now i clearly identify the birds in my house..The Male and female Loten sunbird have built a beautiful nest on our clothesline in the balcony.This is the second time, it had built its nest last year in the same place.
It seems to have adjusted to us even if we go too close to it(the female loten sunbird sitting in the nest) it doesn’t fly away..
The male used to come only when the female was building a nest, its only the female that now resides in the nest.
There’s another one too i.e. a red whiskered bulbul that built a nest(like a pouch) but never returned to its nest after a huge black bird(which i suspect is a koel) visited its nest.
