Pied Honeyeater

4 sections

The Pied Honeyeater is a medium-sized, nomadic bird found throughout Australia’s arid and semi-arid inland regions. Males are easily recognised by their bold black and white colouring, while females have more subdued brown tones. These birds are known for their unpredictable movements, appearing suddenly in large numbers when flowering shrubs are abundant.
