	Honeyeater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The honeyeaters are a large and diverse family of small to medium sized birds most common in Australia and New Guinea, but also found in New Zealand, the Pacific islands as far east as Hawaii, and the islands to the north and west of New Guinea known as Wallacia.
		Although honeyeaters look and behave very much like other nectar-feeding passerines around the world (such as the sunbirds and flowerpeckers), they are unrelated, and the similarities are the consequence of convergent evolution.
		In general, the honeyeaters with long, fine bills are more nectarivous, the shorter-billed species less so, but even specialised nectar eaters like the spinebills take extra insects to add protein to their diet when they are breeding.

	Regent Honeyeater Xanthomyza phrygia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Regent Honeyeaters have been observed in a number of environments including urban areas, rural gardens and plantations, and rural environments with remnant native trees and bushland.
		Historically, the distribution of the Regent Honeyeater was mostly within 300 km of Australia’s south-east coast, from 100 km north of Brisbane, south to near Wilson’s Promontory and as far west as Adelaide.

		Regent Honeyeaters are also being banded elsewhere as part of this cooperative project.
		Regent Honeyeaters have usually arrived in the Capertee Valley by the end of July.
		When present, Regent Honeyeaters are usually easy to locate as they are generally very vocal prior to breeding.

	Facts Sheets - Regent Honeyeater (Xanthomyza phrygia) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Today the Regent Honeyeater has become a 'flagship species' for conservation in the threatened box-ironbark forests of Victoria and NSW on which it depends.
		Regent Honeyeaters occur mainly in dry box ironbark open-forest and woodland areas inland of the Great Dividing Range, particularly favouring those on the wettest, most fertile soils, such as along creek flats and broad river valleys.
		Special dietary and habitat needs, in particular the Regent Honeyeater's nomadic lifestyle and reliance on a small area of favoured habitat within the remnants, has meant that these reductions in habitat are having a huge impact on the species.

	Honeyeater
		Although they look and behave very much like other nectar-feeding passerines around the world (such as the sunbirds[?] and flowerpeckers[?]), they are unrelated, and the similarities are the consequence of convergent evolution.
		In general, however, honeyeaters prefer to flit quickly from perch to perch in the outer foliage, stretching up or sideways or hanging upside down at need.
		In general, the honeyeaters with long, fine bills are more nectarivous, the shorter-billed species less so, but even specialised nectar eaters like the spinebills[?] take extra insescts to add protein to their diet when they are breeding.

		The honeyeater is 200-225mm in size and the female is often much smaller than the male.
		The Regent Honeyeater once occurred in congregations of 50-100 but today it is found either singly, in pairs or small groups of no more than ten.
		Being partly migratory, the honeyeater generally shifts northwards in autumn and winter returning south to breed in spring and congregating within all ranges when food is abundant.

	Earthbeat - 20/10/01: National Regent Honeyeater Recovery Project
		David Geering: The Regent Honeyeater is basically what we call a rich patch specialist, and that is, it occurs in woodlands, but it does occur throughout the woodlands.
		When we first came to the Capertee Valley, we were going to save the world, or at least save all the world’s Regent Honeyeaters, but we certainly very quickly realised that it’s all private property and to do this you have to have the co-operation of the landholders.
		Landholders have seen the opportunity, they’re doing up their old shearers’ quarters, or they’re doing up old cottages, and birdwatchers are actually paying to stay in the valley, which is providing economic spinoffs for individual landholders.

	Volunteers needed to help save swift parrot and regent honeyeater
		The NSW Department of Environment and Conservation is looking for volunteers who might be interested in joining nationwide weekend surveys of the highly endangered swift parrot and regent honeyeater.
		National Swift Parrot Recovery Coordinator, Debbie Saunders, said the primary aim of the surveys is to monitor the populations and habitats of swift parrots and regent honeyeaters throughout their range.
		However, any additional records of swift parrots and regent honeyeaters are always welcome.

	Endangered Australian Birds
		Recent surveys throughout eastern Australia have shown that the population of this boldly patterned fl, yellow and white honeyeater has fallen to a critically low level perhaps fewer than 1000 birds.
		A large proportion of their time is spent feeding on nectar from a few key eucalypts - Mugga Ironbark, White Box, Yellow Box, Yellow Gum and Blakely's Red Gum and mistletoe growing on River Oaks.
		Many of the remaining stands of the key eucalypt species have suffered in the past from harvesting of timber and the very slow growth rates of replacement trees.

		The main purpose of the outing was to search for Regent Honeyeater and Swift Parrot.
		Race was not identified but the Tasmanian race has been observed in the forest before so some may have been of this taxon.
		The Swift Parrot was seen in the forest last winter and the local area (including Warby Range and Killawarra Forest) is quite an important region on the mainland for this species.
