When observing the Rufous-banded Honeyeater, look for its characteristic white throat, which contrasts with the rufous band across the breast. The bird's overall plumage is a mix of subtle earth tones that blend seamlessly with the mangrove environment.

This species is found across a range of locales, including the Aru Islands, New Guinea, and northern Australia. In Australia, it is notably prevalent in the suburban ecosystems of Darwin.

Behaviour

In Darwin, the Rufous-banded Honeyeater is recognized as one of the most common small birds, a testament to its adaptability and resilience in urban fringe environments.

Breeding

Love this app. It is easy to use and accurate, Their backup communication is really good. I noted a missing species. All through the process, I was kept informed about the progress in correcting the information. I now have the corrected, updated version. 😁 Thanks!
