Honeyeaters are a diverse group of Australian birds with a brush-tipped tongue adapted for feeding on nectar from flowers. While nectar is a primary food, honeyeaters also consume insects, pollen, berries and plant secretions. There are over 180 honeyeater species found across Australia, New Guinea, the Pacific Islands, and Bali. They build cup-shaped nests from bark, grass, twigs and other materials. Their woodland habitat in eastern Australia has been greatly reduced, degrading the remaining areas.
