Rufous-throated Honeyeater

Conopophila rufogularis

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.

Conservation status

Bird enthusiasts can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the Rufous-throated Honeyeater is currently listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. This status reflects a stable population, free from immediate threats of decline.

Terrific App for Birders
Downloaded Birda around the time my interest in birding was sparked, and it has been a terrific app to help me (1) share my experience, (2) document my sightings, and (3) learn more about birds in general. That said, I also believe Birda is a fantastic app for birders of all experience levels. Great community!

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.

Excellent! We've been waiting for an app like this! Thank you! It would be nice if you could assign additional birds to sessions later!

The best bird logging app
Birda is honestly the best bird logging app I have seen. I love all the features it has from being able to do a session and log all the birds you see in one sitting, to being able to connect with other birders from all over the globe!

I really like Birda
I really like Birda. I also use other birding apps and have Birda with E-bird going at the same time.

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.
