Blue Faced Honeyeater.
Blue-faced Honeyeaters are also known as Bananabirds and are passerine birds from the Melitphagidae family.
They are characterised by their distinctive plumage, their olive upperparts, white underparts, black heads, white napes and cheeks and the beautiful blue patches around the eyes.
This blue patch appears on the adults whereas, the juveniles have a yellow or green patch. They frequent open woodlands, parks, and gardens and are found in Eastern Australia and Southern New Guinea.
Their diet consists of insects and invertebrates and this is supplemented with nectar and fruit. These birds are noisy and gregarious and often gather in small flocks. They forage in pairs or in rowdy flocks of up to seven other blue-faced honeyeaters and love hanging about in pandanas palm trees, and both native and exotic plants.
They are not backward in chasing competitors away from their food source and will mob, swoop, and harass potential predators away from their nests. They prefer tropical and sub-tropical areas and either wet or semi arid zones.
