Bell Miner

Manorina melanophrys

Least Concern

The Bell Miner is a social, vocal honeyeater that forages in woodland canopies and defends flowering trees in southeastern Australia and Tasmania. It uses its brush-tipped tongue to exploit flowers and often follows seasonal blooms; local movements can make it conspicuous when trees are in flower. Fun fact: honeyeaters are important pollinators across Australasia and the Pacific.
