This species is found in forest and cultivation. Crimson Sunbirds are tiny, only 11cm long. They have medium length thin down curved bills and brush tipped tubular tongues, both adaptations to their nectar feeding. The adult male has a crimson breast and maroon back. The rump is yellow and the belly is olive. The female has an olive green back, yellowish breast and white tips to the outer tail feathers.
