Sugarbirds
Order: Passeriformes. Family: Promeropidae
The two species of sugarbird make up one of only two bird families restricted entirely to southern Africa, the other being the rock-jumpers Chaetopidae. They are specialist nectar feeders, but also eat insects. They have dull streaky plumages and long tails. The songs are a jumble of metallic-sounding notes.
