The Palestine Sunbird Persists

The Palestine sunbird, also known as the orange-tufted sunbird (Cinnyris osea) is the national bird of Palestine, and often seen as a symbol of resistance and hope. This species occurs in dry climates, particularly desert, scrubland, and savannahs, but can also be found in orchards and gardens where flowers are abundant. In addition to the Levant, C. osea occurs throughout the southwest cost of Saudia Arabia and the coasts of Yemen and Oman in the south.

C. osea is a small bird, 8 to 12 cm (3.1-4.7 in) long with a wingspan of only 14 to 16 cm (5.5-6.2 in). Males weigh on average 7.6 g (0.26 oz) and females are slightly smaller, at about 6.8 g (0.24 oz). Males are quite easy to identify due to their striking plumage; their feathers are iridescent, appearing dark until they shimmer glossy blue or green, with orange tufts at the side of the breast. In contrast females are fairly drab; grey-brown with a lighter underside. The beaks of the Palestine sunbird are also noted for their distinctively long and curved, which they have developed to efficiently feed on nectar.

Although not directly part of the hummingbird family, the Palestine sunbird shares many similarities with the group. Its diet consists of nectar, and is supplemented with insects. Their tongues are long, and brush-like, and the shape of their beak allows them to reach down to the base of the flower. For flowers that are , they will use their sharp beaks to pierce the side and access the nectar directly. All this is done at very high speeds, but unlike hummingbirds the Palestine sunbird cannot hover in place, and must land in order to feed. Because of their primary reliance on nectar, the orange-tufted sunbird is an important pollinator in its native region. Adults are rarely predated upon, but eggs and young are often targets for lizards, snakes, and birds of prey.

Reproduction begins in June, and continues through October. Males establish and defend territories, and court females by singing to attract a potential mate, then chasing her until she perches to signal her acceptance. Following the pairing, the two construct a purse-like nest, sometimes with a porch-like structure, that hangs from a branch. In this nest, 1-2 eggs are laid, and are incubated primarily by the female, while the male provides her food. The eggs take 13 to 14 days to hatch, and chicks are taken care of by both parents for an additional 14 to 21 days. Individuals can live up to 5 years in the wild.

Conservation status: The Palestine sunbird has a large range and population, and is thus considered Least Concern by the IUCN. Its primary threat is habitat loss due to agriculture and urban development.

Disclaimer: these all are statements don't take them as universal facts ok

Now let's begin

People with Mars in 8th house love all things related to occult and in general love to learn about it and do NOT fear even the paranormal stuffs.

The Earth rising/placements and specifically Virgo sign kinda just love cleaness even if their surroundings are a bit messy but has no dust or dirt in it they will be ok I hope you got the point fam

Even if you gave just a placement in Gemini in any chart you will love to have a journal with you even if you don't actually use it much

Virgo placement in general have great handwriting which is generally considered very beautiful and they will keep their handwriting very neat.

If you have fire mercury and earth placement you my love gonna regret after oversharing your thoughts (special mention to my Capricorns)but don't worry not everyone is using the info

North node in 10th house is gonna give you such a passionate mind that you won't be even able to decide what the fu*k you wanna do until the last moment

If you are attracted to men then your Jupiter placement will give you much insight about your partner then your Venus and Juno ones

The year you will have Leo rising in your solar return chart that year you will gain lot's of confidence and just unexpected rewards of your hard work

If you wanna have a whole new glow up find the day of your ruling planet either through your name or dob and do a small ritual of that planet on that day works very well

Neptune dom/1st house people love to wear rose coloured glasses when it comes to accepting that their loved ones can be shitty person may take them lots of betrayal to let go of stuffs and person
