The New Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae) are found throughout southern Australia.
Description:
It is around eighteen centimetres long, and is mainly black, with a white iris, white facial tufts, and yellow margins on its wing and tail feathers. It is a very active bird and it rarely sits long enough to give an extended view.
When danger approaches a New Holland Honeyeater, such as a bird of prey, a group of Honeyeaters will form together and give a warning call.
Males and females look alike in looks with the exception that females are slightly smaller. Younger Honeyeaters are mostly brown and have grey eyes.
Diet:
New Holland Honeyeaters mostly eat the nectar of a flower as well as fruit, insects, and spiders. They sometimes feed alone but they usually gather in large groups.
