The Rufous-throated Honeyeater, known scientifically as Conopophila rufogularis, is a charming avian species belonging to the Meliphagidae family. This bird is a true spectacle of nature, endemic to the northern reaches of Australia.

Identification Tips

When seeking to identify this honeyeater, look for its distinctive rufous throat, which stands out against its otherwise subdued plumage. The bird's size and coloration are key identifiers, with a modest stature that is typical of the honeyeater family.

Habitat

The Rufous-throated Honeyeater is most commonly found in subtropical or tropical mangrove forests. These ecosystems provide the perfect backdrop for observing this species in its natural environment.

Distribution

This species is a proud resident of northern Australia, where it has adapted to thrive in its local habitat. Observers will be delighted to find it in this region, where it is a common sight in the right locales.

Behaviour

In urban environments, the Rufous-throated Honeyeater exhibits a remarkable adaptability. It has been noted for its resilience in these settings, likely due to the absence of nest predators that would otherwise pose a threat to its survival.

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.

A Friendly Place
I love using the bird app, I have a pretty good knowledge of birds. But I do have some gaps in it, so it’s nice to have a safe space to check on a sighting to confirm the species. It’s really enjoyable and I love the badges you can collect. It’s like a real life Pokémon go.
