There are many different kinds of honeyeaters in Australia. These birds, as their name suggests, are largely nectivorous. Many also eats fruits, berries and insects. We regularly have seven different species of honeyeaters in our garden, most of them resident breeding species.
The Singing Honeyeater is one of these species, present in small numbers, perhaps 4 - 6 at any one time. During our long hot and dry summers they enjoy coming to our bird baths for a drink. They also enjoy feeding on the nectar of the flowers of the many native Australian plants we have in our garden.
