The Taliabu Myzomela is a small honeyeater endemic to the island of Taliabu in Indonesia. It is characterized by its dusky plumage and specific island distribution.
Where to spot
Endemic to Taliabu Island in the Sula Archipelago, Indonesia. It inhabits lowland and hill forests, including disturbed areas, primarily found in the canopy and mid-story.
How to spot
Identify by its small size, dark, dusky brownish-black plumage, and slender, decurved bill. Its restricted endemic range is a key identification factor. Look for it actively feeding in flowering trees. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, foraging for nectar and insects. As a resident species within its very limited island range, it can be observed year-round.
Taliabu, one of the Sula Islands, supports unique island endemics like this Myzomela, highlighting the importance of conserving its isolated forest ecosystems.
