About These Birds

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.

Black-headed Honeyeater

The Black-headed Honeyeater is a small, energetic honeyeater endemic to Tasmania, Australia, with a glossy black head, white nape band, and olive-brown upperparts. It inhabits dry and wet sclerophyll forests and woodlands, especially those dominated by eucalypts. It feeds on nectar, insects, and honeydew from lerp psyllids, often foraging in the outer foliage of eucalyptus trees.
