Brown-Headed Honeyeater

A small honeyeater of eucalypt woodland and forest across southern Australia, identified by its brown cap and pale eye, typically moving through the canopy and outer foliage in small, active flocks. It feeds on nectar, honeydew and insects gleaned from leaves and bark, often associating with other small woodland birds while foraging. Listening for its soft, chattering contact calls as a flock moves through eucalypt canopy is usually more productive than searching visually, and it can be found year-round within its range.
