Red-headed Myzomela

Myzomela erythrocephala

Least Concern

The Red-headed Myzomela is a small, active island honeyeater that moves through flowering shrubs and forest edges for nectar and insects in northern 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.
