The Little Wattlebird is a large, noisy honeyeater common in coastal and subcoastal areas of southeastern Australia, identified by its streaked brown plumage and lack of wattles (fleshy facial appendages).

Where to spot

Open forests, woodlands, heaths, and urban gardens along the eastern and southeastern coast of Australia.

How to spot

Look for its large size, streaked brown plumage, and active feeding at nectar-rich flowers. Listen for its loud, often raucous, gurgling calls, which are a characteristic sound of its habitat.
