YELLOW HONEYEATER: Lichenostomus flavus 19 cm The Yellow Honeyeater is endemic to north Queensland. It is common in open forests and woodlands with a shrubby understorey. Its rich whistling calls are uttered frequently throughout the day. - Because it feeds commonly on nectar, it is often abundant even in cities where native plants such as grevilleas an bottle-brushes have been used for landscaping.
- Near Chambers Wildlife Rainforest Lodge it is most readily seen around Mareeba.
