The Bell Miner is a distinctive honeyeater found in temperate and subtropical eucalypt forests of eastern Australia, famous for its constant, bell-like 'ping' calls. They live in large, cooperative colonies.
Where to spot
Wet and dry sclerophyll eucalypt forests, especially those with dense undergrowth, in eastern Australia.
How to spot
Easily located by their constant, high-pitched bell-like calls. Look for large colonies of active birds feeding on psyllids or nectar. They have olive-green plumage with a small yellow patch behind the eye.
When to spot
Active year-round and throughout the day, with their calls being almost continuous.

Bell Miners are known for aggressively defending their territories from other insectivorous birds, creating 'bell miner associated dieback' in eucalypt forests by allowing psyllid outbreaks.
