About These Birds

Black-eared Miner

The Black-eared Miner is a critically endangered honeyeater endemic to the mallee shrublands of southeastern Australia, closely resembling the Yellow-throated Miner but with a distinctive black ear patch. It requires dense, mature mallee eucalyptus habitat for survival and has suffered severe population decline due to land clearing and hybridization with the more common Yellow-throated Miner. It feeds on nectar, insects, and lerp from eucalyptus foliage.

Arfak Honeyeater

The Arfak Honeyeater is a medium-sized honeyeater from the Arfak Mountains of western New Guinea, weighing about 56 grams with a wingspan near 21 cm. It has bare, brightly colored facial skin typical of Melipotes honeyeaters, contrasting with its dark plumage. It forages for nectar and fruit in montane forest, often visiting flowering trees in groups.
