4 sections

Gilbert's Honeyeater is a small, black-and-white headed bird found only in southwestern Australia’s eucalypt forests and woodlands. Once grouped with the White-naped Honeyeater, it is now recognised as a separate species, notable for its bold facial markings and its role as a pollinator in native forests.
