And neither the
White-eared Honeyeaters in the photo (or them being wrongly identified as Crescent Honeyeaters by common & Latin name) are to any real extent tropical, which is the intent

Sadly typical of the sloppiness of this kind of article.

I certainly hope that the people working on this project know what they are doing as they certainly can’t identify their birds. The photo in the story is
of twp White-eared Honeyeaters of different ages, as told by the colouring on the head!!
