This Yellow Honeyeater at Kuranda Birdworld allowed me to get really close to photograph it. There are numerous Honeyeater bird species in Australia, which eat nectar and insects, They are active and intelligent, and important flower pollinators. They can easily be attracted to gardens if you grow the right plants.
