Brown-headed Honeyeaters are very inconspicuous members of the honeyeater family. It took us three years to first identify a bird. The grey chin, eyering and neckband make its identification easy. First spotted in March 2006, then again upon its return in October 2006, 20 km south of Narrabri. In November 2008 also spotted high up in eucalypt trees in Deriah Forest, 30 km east of Narrabri, where a pair of Brown-headed Honeyeaters was busy feeding their young. More

Brown-headed Honeyeaters are one of the smallest honeyeaters found in Australia. They are about the size of a House Sparrow and are certainly the smallest honeyeaters in our garden. The White-plumed Honeyeaters are not much bigger. While I would probably classify this species as a resident species in our garden, they do tend to come and go quite frequently. We see or hear them most days, then several days might pass without a sign of them. More
