G'day all

New Holland Honeyeaters in my garden do not tolerate any other honeyeater species except Red Wattlebirds.  I've often seen them chase away White-naped and Yellow-faced Honeyeaters.  They tolerate Grey Fantails, Silvereyes, Sparrows, Lorikeets etc. as far as I can tell.

One the plus side they are great at alerting me to raptors nearby.

Cheers
