Yellow-Throated Miner

The Yellow-throated Miner is endemic to Australia and is found in the eastern and southeastern parts of the country. Its range extends from northeastern Queensland through New South Wales, Victoria, and into southeastern South Australia.

These birds inhabit a variety of habitats, including open woodlands, forests, heathlands, and occasionally gardens and urban areas. They are adaptable and can be found in both natural and modified landscapes.

Yellow-throated Miners are social birds that usually occur in small to large groups, often numbering in the tens to hundreds of individuals. They are highly vocal and have a range of calls, including chattering, warbling, and trilling sounds. They are known for their cooperative breeding behavior, where multiple individuals within a group contribute to nest-building and raising the young.

Their diet consists of nectar, insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates. They have a brush-tipped tongue that enables them to extract nectar from flowers.
