Alec Chisholm commences his book "Bird Wonders of Australia" by describing the actions of a White-eared Honeyeater collecting hair from a girl's head to line its' nest. Well, she had a fine head of hair and could certainly spare some, to judge by the N. Chaffer photo that went with the story.

("Bird Wonders of Australia", Alec H. Chisholm, Angus & Robertson, 1934. Don' know if it was ever reprinted. Libraries might have a copy.)
