New Holland Honeyeaters are mostly black and white with a large yellow wing patch and yellow sides on their tails. They have white eyes and thin white whiskers at the base of their bills. Both sexes look very similar with the girls being a little bit smaller. They extend right across southern Australia from Brisbane in Queensland to just north of Perth in Western Australia. New Holland Honeyeaters are active feeders eating mostly nectar from flowers, darting from flower to flower in search of high-energy food sources. They can also eat fruit, insects and spiders. They can feed on their own or in large groups. They are crazy beautiful and sadly they don’t visit my garden. I think I need to review my plant choices to attract these babies ♥
