Field Guide

Black Honeyeater

4 sections

The Black Honeyeater is a small, energetic bird found throughout Australia’s arid and semi-arid inland regions. Their slender, curved bills are perfectly adapted for feeding on nectar from tubular flowers. Black Honeyeaters are highly mobile, appearing in large numbers when food is abundant and vanishing just as quickly when conditions change.
