Acerca de

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.
