Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater

The Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater (*Acanthagenys rufogularis*) is a large, unmistakable honeyeater found across most of inland and southern Australia. It is well known for its sociable, sometimes aggressive nature, often seen in groups foraging high in trees or shrubs. This bird’s bold facial markings and unique cheek feathers make it easy to identify in the field.
