À propos
The Black-faced Friarbird is a large, noisy honeyeater with bare black facial skin, gray-brown plumage, and a knob on the base of the curved bill. It inhabits forests, woodland, and gardens of the Moluccas (Maluku Islands) in eastern Indonesia. It feeds on nectar, insects, and fruits, often dominating flowering trees and aggressively defending food sources from other honeyeaters.
