About
The Bismarck Honeyeater is a near-threatened honeyeater endemic to the Whiteman Range on New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea. It inhabits montane forests at higher elevations. It feeds on nectar from forest flowers and insects, and its restricted range to a single mountain range makes it vulnerable.
