🌏 Singing Honeyeater (Gavicalis virescens)

The Singing Honeyeater is a medium-sized bird with a grey-brown body and olive tints to its wings and tail. A distinctive black stripe runs through its eye, with a secondary yellow stripe below. Widespread across most of mainland Australia, they inhabit a variety of environments from arid shrublands to urban parks. They are omnivores, feeding on nectar, insects, and fruit. Known for their loud, melodious song, they are territorial and will aggressively defend their patch, especially during breeding. 2.5 Flash (Edited)
