About These Birds
Ashy Myzomela
The Ashy Myzomela is a small honeyeater found on islands of the Bismarck Archipelago in Papua New Guinea. Weighing about 14g with a wingspan near 13.8cm, it is largely grey in plumage and uses its curved bill to feed on nectar and small insects. It inhabits forest edges and secondary growth.
Bismarck Honeyeater
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.
