Australian Native Wildlife – Blue Faced Honeyeater
August 4th 2010 12:47
Their diet consists of nectar from flowers as well as insects and native fruits. There is little sexual dimorphism, meaning the hens are as pretty as the cocks.
Measuring approximately 26cm (10½ in) they are aggressive towards other birds, often allying themselves with noisy mynahs to drive off intruders. Blue faced honeyeaters breed from June to January, sometimes using the discarded nests of other birds.
They are unsuited to captivity, and like all Australian native wildlife, they are a protected species.
