Different concentrations of a sucrose solution vary the courtship song and behaviour of the male yellow‐bellied sunbird Nectarinia venusta ‐ the duration of subsong, total singing duration, and the absolute number of full song phrases. With high concentrations the sunbird sings more full song phrases but less subsong during the courtship season than otherwise. The various effects are described.
