Red Wattlebird
4 sections
The Red Wattlebird is one of Australia’s largest and most conspicuous honeyeaters, commonly seen and heard in woodlands, forests, and suburban gardens across southern Australia. Instantly recognisable by the fleshy pink wattles on its neck and it's loud, raucous calls, this species is a key pollinator of native flowering trees and shrubs, especially eucalypts and banksias.
