  Honeyeater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Honeyeaters and the closely related Australian chats make up the family Meliphagidae.
It seems probable that no single explanation will emerge: the general rule for honeyeater movements is that there is no general rule.
The genus Apalopteron (Bonin Honeyeater), formerly treated in the Meliphagidae, has recently been transferred to the Zosteropidae on genetic evidence.

A footnote: Sibley and Ahlquist (1990) and progeny include the five species of Australian chats among the Meliphagidae, largely on biochemical evidence but also because they have brush-tipped tongues.
Brush-tipped tongues for feeding on nectar has evolved separately in a variety of birds, from leafbirds in Asia to painted berrypeckers in New Guinea to troupial, an icterid of South America.
Molecular and morphological evidence places Macgregoria in the Meliphagidae and the Cnemophilinae near the base of the corvoid tree.

acdriskell@ucdavis.edu We analyzed nucleotide variation at four loci for 75 species to produce a phylogenetic hypothesis for the Meliphagidae, and to examine the evolution and biogeographic history of the Meliphagidae.
No evidence was found to support the hypothesis of separate New Guinean and Australian endemic radiations, nor of a close phylogenetic relationship between taxa from the New Guinea highlands and those from Australian northern rainforests.

Effects of nectar volume and concentration on sugar intake rates of Australian honeyeaters (Meliphagidae).
Sugar intake rates of captive Australian honeyeaters (Meliphagidae) feeding at artificial flowers varied across species, and as a function of nectar volume and concentration within each species.
Red Wattlebirds (Anthochaera carunculata, 110 g.), achieved higher intake rates than New Holland Honeyeaters (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae, 20 g), and both achieved higher rates than Eastern Spinebills (Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris, 10 g).
