About These Birds
Alor Myzomela
The Alor Myzomela is a vulnerable honeyeater of the Meliphagidae family, weighing about 9 g with a wingspan near 12 cm. It is endemic to the island of Alor in eastern Indonesia, where it feeds on nectar and small insects in forest and scrub habitats.
Black-breasted Myzomela
The Black-breasted Myzomela is a small honeyeater restricted to Timor and Wetar in the Lesser Sunda Islands, with males displaying a bright red head and throat set against black wings and a black breast. It inhabits forest edges, woodland, and scrub, feeding on nectar and small insects. Its limited island range and dependence on flowering trees make it potentially vulnerable to habitat change.
