Since so many people enjoyed learning about spangled drongos, let me introduce you to another gem - the wattlebird. They looks like they took a couple of pepperoni slices and turned them into a pair of fashionable earrings

A red wattlebird showing off its red wattles and its tongue.
These are a type of honeyeater. In fact, it is the second largest species of Australian honeyeater after the yellow wattlebird.

Red wattlebird 🐦
This photo by ChiemSeherin shows a red wattlebird (Anthochaera carunculata) with a yellow belly, long dark curved beak, and red eye perched on a rough, weathered tree branch among dry twigs. It is the second largest species of Australian honeyeater, after the yellow wattlebird.

This shot of a little wattlebird might be the best single frame I shot in Australia. Can anyone help me with the banksia ID? 🪶

(You may need to click to view, given the aspect ratio.)
