Cape sugarbird
The Cape sugarbird (''Promerops cafer'')〔Note: the name ''"cafer"'' is Modern Latin for Caffer, an adjective meaning South African, or of South Africa (Caffraria); which are in turn from the terms Kaffir, Caffre, or Caffer applied to certain indigenous peoples of that country (Arabic kafir, an infidel).
(【引用サイトリンク】title=''A dictionary of scientific bird names originating from the Indian region'' )〕 is one of the six bird species endemic to the Fynbos biome of the Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa.
==Description==
The Cape sugarbird is a grey-brown bird that easily recognisable by a spot of yellow under its tail and the very long tail feathers present in males. The male is 34–44 cm long, and the shorter-tailed, shorter-billed, and paler breasted female 25–29 cm long. Another characteristic of the Cape sugarbird is the sound it makes when it flies. The main flight feathers are arranged in such a way that when the bird beats its wings, a ''frrt-frrt'' sound is made with the intention of attracting females.
