About These Birds
Arfak Honeyeater
The Arfak Honeyeater is a medium-sized honeyeater from the Arfak Mountains of western New Guinea, weighing about 56 grams with a wingspan near 21 cm. It has bare, brightly colored facial skin typical of Melipotes honeyeaters, contrasting with its dark plumage. It forages for nectar and fruit in montane forest, often visiting flowering trees in groups.
Black Honeyeater
The Black Honeyeater is a small, sexually dimorphic honeyeater; males are strikingly black-and-white while females are dull brownish with a pale underside. It inhabits arid and semi-arid Australia, particularly mulga scrub, mallee, and saltbush plains across the interior. It feeds primarily on nectar from flowering shrubs, especially eremophilas and grevilleas, supplementing with small insects.
