Sugar-birds (Ccerehince) of the West Indies andSouth America are small slender-billed species, oftenvery brightly coloured, with apparently much the samehabits as the Sun-birds and Flower-peckers of the OldWorld ; they also build domed nests. Few are well known, but the Yellow-winged Sugar-bird {Ccereba cyanea) is too familiar from the use ofits skin for decoration, and has been kept caged success-fully in England ; it is about the size of a small Tit,the male purple, with metallic sea-green crown, con-cealed yellow in the wings, and red feet. The femaleis dull green. The Purple Sugar-bird (C. ccerulea) isalmost all purple, with yellow feet. ji.
