About this Motif
The Palestinian Sunbird, adopted by the Palestinian authority in 2015 as the national bird of Palestine, symbolizes resilience, hope, and freedom. The sunbird's dark, iridescent plumage shines a glossy blue, green, or purple light in the sun.
The birds are found in flowering trees and bushes in both urban and natural habitats in arid zones. Many artists have used the sunbird and its vibrant colors to celebrate Palestine and to highlight resistance against occupation.
