The Scarlet Myzomela (Myzomela sanguinolenta), also called the Scarlet Honeyeater, is Australia’s smallest honeyeater. This energetic bird is a familiar sight in the forests and woodlands along eastern Australia, where males display vivid red plumage and both sexes are often heard before they are seen, thanks to their bright, tinkling calls.
