Yellow-plumed Honeyeater

Ptilotula ornata

The yellow-plumed honeyeater (Ptilotula ornata) is a species of bird in the family Meliphagidae. It is endemic to Australia, where it inhabits temperate forests and Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation. The yellow-plumed honeyeater is a medium-sized honeyeater with a relatively long, down-curved black bill, a dark face and a distinctive, upswept yellow neck plume. It has a olive-green head, with a faint yellow line under the dark eye, grey-green upperparts, and heavily streaked grey-brown underparts. Young birds have a yellow bill base and eye-ring. Similar species include Purple-gaped honeyeater, Grey-fronted honeyeater and Fuscous Honeyeater. The song is a loud, clear, three-note chier wit chier, often performed before dawn, and by males during display flight.
