These correlations are due to the difference in their body size and bill length. There was no significant correlation with the length of corolla and the occurrence of the Long-billed sunbird, but there was a significant correlation in occurrence of Purple-rumped sunbird and the length of corolla. Furthermore, there was a significant correlation with the glucose concentration and the occurrence of the Long-billed sunbird whereas no such correlation between the glucose concentration and the occurrence of Purple-rumped sunbird. However, there was a significant correlation between the flower count and the occurrence of the Purple-rumped sunbird. The results also indicated that the correlation between the flower count and the occurrence of the Long-billed sunbird was not significant. The number of visits by sunbirds did not depend on the plant species or the colour of the flower. In the study, 21 different plants were recognized as nectar feeding plants for sunbirds. Results show that during the day, sunbirds spent most of their time in foraging than in acquiring food. The study was carried out between March and September 2013.

The study was carried out in five different habitat types in the Kandy district, Sri Lanka: a forest reserve, home garden habitats at two widely separated locations, a roadside habitat, and a botanical garden. The aim of this work was to study the occurrence of sunbirds in different habitats, to observe and describe their activity frequencies, to observe the relationship of the Long-billed sunbird Cinnyris lotenius and Purple-rumped sunbird Leptocoma zeylonica with their host flowers, and to examine their behavioral relationships with the colour of the flower, flower count, nectar glucose concentration and the length of corolla of flowers. Sunbirds (Passeriformes: Nectariniidae) are small passerines that feed largely on nectar. Therefore the relevant authorities should take immediate conservation action to increase the protection of these marginal areas or buffer zone in the near future. However, these precious habitats and its species are threatened due to irresponsible human activities such as, forest fires, land filings, hunting, road kills, encroachments, garbage dumping, agrochemicals, granite-rock blasting, logging, and road constructions. Also first ever records of Chestnut-backed Owlet, Red-faced Malkoha and Spot-winged Thrush from this dry area. We recorded 196 bird species belonging to 66 families: including 161 breeding residents, 25 purely migrants, 09 both resident and migrants, one vagrant, 14 nationally threatened, 03 globally threatened and 10 endemic species. The main vegetation type of the area is dry mixed evergreen forest. These study sites are located within the dry zone and the intermediate zone.

The survey was done randomly marginal areas of Maduruoya National Park for a period of more than seven years. Therefore, we recommend that relevant authorities take immediate conservation action to increase the protection of these marginal areas or buffer zone in the near future. However, these precious habitats and its species are threatened because of irresponsible human activities such as forest fires, land filings, hunting, road kills, encroachments, garbage dumping, agrochemicals, granite-rock blasting, logging, and road constructions. We also report the first ever records of Chestnut-backed Owlet, Red-faced Malkoha, and Spot-winged Thrush from this dry area. We recorded 196 bird species belonging to 66 families, and they included 161 breeding residents, 25 purely migrants, nine both resident and migrants, one vagrant, 14 nationally threatened, three globally threatened, and 10 endemic species. A survey was randomly conducted in the marginal areas of Maduruoya National Park, Sri Lanka for a period of > 7 years.
