The wattled honeyeater is a comparable giant next to the cardinal honeyeater. They measure 19cm, and their fearless and aggressive nature makes them less wary than many other forest birds. Primarily nectivorous, the wattled honeyeater is also known to include soft fruits and berries in its diet. It is also more likely to include insects and spiders into its diet and because of its larger size is even able to occasionally capture small geckos and skinks (lizards). More
