Editing Spiderhunter (section)

==Breeding==
The spiderhunters are thought to be [[monogamy in animals|monogamous]] like most of the rest of the family. They vary from the other sunbirds in the nature of their [[bird nest|nest]], which is suspended underneath a large leaf, usually a banana leaf but sometimes a palm frond or even a branch. The style of nest can be quite variable, a simple cup in the case of the [[streaked spiderhunter]], an elongated tube for the [[yellow-eared spiderhunter]] and a bottle shape for the [[long-billed spiderhunter]]. The nests are suspended from the leaf by using spider web or by pushing plant fibres through the leaf. The nests are made of grasses and leaves and lined with soft materials. Nest construction, as is typical of the family, is carried out by the female alone. Unlike the other sunbirds, however, both the male and female [[avian incubation|incubate]] the eggs. The spiderhunters lay two or three eggs. Their nests are sometimes [[brood parasite|parasitised]] by [[cuckoo]]s.<ref name ="HBW"/>
