The Yellow Honeyeater
is endemic to north Queensland.
-
It is common in open
forests and woodlands with a shrubby understorey.
-
Its rich whistling calls are
uttered frequently throughout the day.
- Because it feeds commonly on
nectar, it is often abundant even in cities where native plants such as grevilleas an bottle-brushes have been
used for landscaping.
- Near Chambers Wildlife Rainforest Lodge it is most readily seen around Mareeba.
