The Silver-crowned Friarbird is a striking honeyeater native to northern Australia. It is characterized by a distinctive silvery-white cap on its head, which contrasts sharply with its bare black facial skin and the prominent knob on its bill. This species is highly vocal and often seen in open woodlands.
Where to spot
Found in tropical and subtropical open woodlands, forests, and mangroves across northern Australia, from Western Australia to Queensland.
How to spot
Easily identified by its silvery-white crown and bare black face. Listen for its loud, ringing, often repeated calls. It often perches conspicuously in the upper canopy.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its range. Most active during the day, especially around flowering trees and shrubs.

The 'silver crown' is formed by short, dense, pale feathers that give the appearance of a silvery cap, a unique feature among friarbirds.
