Singing Honeyeater

Listen first in the dry scrub, mallee and coastal heath of southern and western Australia, where its varied, chattering song often reveals its presence before it is seen. It forages actively through low shrubs and flowering trees for nectar and insects, frequently in pairs or small family groups, and is one of the more conspicuous and vocal honeyeaters where it occurs. Flowering season in the local shrub layer draws the most reliable activity.
