White-eared Honeyeater

Microptilotis albonotatus

The White-eared Honeyeater is a small to medium-sized bird native to Australia. It is characterized by its distinctive white ear patch and olive-green upperparts. This species is known for its melodic and varied song, often heard in the woodlands and forests it inhabits. White-eared Honeyeaters primarily feed on nectar, insects, and fruits, using their slender, curved bills to extract food from flowers and foliage. They are known to be highly active and agile foragers, often seen darting among the branches in search of food. This species is not currently considered to be at risk, but its habitat is threatened by deforestation and urbanization.
