I just snapped this little birdy suckling some flowers in my yard, I can't seem to find it's type in the bird finder data base, was wondering if you can help me ID it?
I will try,
go into your flickr account,left click on photo, then left click on share,right click on photo. The sizes will come up.
Click on Medium 500 (important).
Smaller version will come up. Right click on photo, then on Properties. Copy the Address and OK.
All you have to do then, paste into text on the forum.
Sounds complicated, but if you follow this step by step, you will get it. Give it a go! M-L
Well done, chriskamen. You're a couple of steps ahead of me.
I'm confident you've photographed & posted a white-plumed honeyeater, as Araminta suggested.

It was exciting to snap a couple of shots of this bird. He comes to visit every day to suckle on the flowers outside my study window - he brightens up my day. I've just moved house to North Coburg, just near the Coburg Lake, so am keen to plant some more natives in the backyard to see what other birds we can attract from along the Merri Creek habitat.
Does anyone have any specific tips for good plants in the Moreland area of Melbourne?
As always, I recommend people check out any remnant vegetation to see what grows in their areas or go to the local council to find out what used to grow naturally. Local birds are adapted to local plant species which are adapted to local soil & climate. Both are therefore more likely to survive & your water bill will almost certainly be lower.
