Eastern Spinebill
The Eastern Spinebill is a small bird native to eastern Australia, known for its slender body and long, curved bill. It typically measures about 12 to 14 centimeters in length and has a distinctive plumage, featuring a mix of brown, white, and black colors. This bird is often found in woodlands, gardens, and coastal scrub, where it feeds primarily on nectar from flowers.
Eastern Spinebills are important pollinators, as they transfer pollen while feeding on nectar. They are particularly attracted to native plants such as Banksia and Grevillea. Their melodious calls and agile flight make them a delightful sight for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.
