Yellow Wattlebird

Anthochaera paradoxa

Least Concern

The Yellow Wattlebird is a large, assertive honeyeater that feeds at blossoms, fruiting trees, and open canopy perches in 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.
