The New Holland Honeyeater is a honeyeater species found throughout southern Australia. It is common in heath, forests, woodland and gardens, mainly where grevilleas and banksias are found. The bird is inquisitive and approaches humans. The New Holland Honeyeater was among the first birds to be scientifically described in Australia, and was initially named Certhia novaehollandiae. There are currently five described subspecies of Phylidonyris novaehollandiae.

 

Captured this one at a friend's front yard in Anglesea, Victoria, Australia.
