Biodiversity Bites - Saving the Song of the Regent Honeyeater

Author: NSW Saving Our Species November 8, 2023 Duration: 7:39

The regent honeyeater (Anthochaera phrygia) is a critically endangered species of bird that has lost about 90% of their preferred woodland habitats to farmland. There are now less than 350 birds left. Their decline has had a significant negative impact on the greater ecosystem.

People are going to great lengths to help protect them, but it’s not easy. Finding these elusive birds is like finding a needle in a haystack - not only because of the small number but also because they are becoming ‘masters of disguise’.

Tune in to learn more about regent honeyeaters, why they are so endangered and what’s being done to help bring them back from the brink.
