- Anthochaera carunculata
Identification
These birds have highly developed brush-tipped tongues adapted for nectar feeding. The tongue is flicked rapidly and repeatedly into a flower, the upper mandible then compressing any liquid out when the bill is closed. It has a fleshy reddish wattle on the side of the neck. The plumage is grey-brown on the body, with prominent white streaks and yellow on the belly. The tail is long with a white-tip and the face is pale. Young Red Wattlebirds are duller than the adult and have a brown eye. The wattle is also very small and pale.
