There are 3 subspacies troughout Australia, but only one in Western Australia. A small honeyeater, highly active and very common in the Perth region. Most diverse in its choice of feeding habitats including wet sclerophyll forests, mangroves, dry arid woodland and heath.
Its all the time busy acrobatic bird, frequently on the wing, hovering over flowers and pursuing insects on the flight.
A lot of people said that is the best songster among Australian birds. It has a clear rolling musical call, which is very loud for the size of the bird.
