What a majestic bird...so colorful and green :)

The Crimson Sunbird is the national bird of the Republic of Singapore.

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.

Now...what has the Crimson Sunbird to do with Running? hmmm
