Noisy Friarbird

Philemon corniculatus

Least Concern

The Noisy Friarbird is a large, assertive honeyeater that feeds at blossoms, fruiting trees, and open canopy perches in eastern Australia. 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.
