I agree with Jeff that the first honeyeater is a Tawny-breasted Honeyeater - no other has that face pattern The second honeyeater looks like a friarbird, probably Meyer's Friarbird but the underparts are unusually pale and is that a hint of red around the eye? Additional photos would be useful and also location & Habitat to check possibility of the extremely rare Brass's Friarbird The third bird is too plain to be an oriole. I would guess Little Shrike-thrush (western subspecies are variably greyer than Australian birds) but the bill looks too long and there is a hint of scaling on underparts - gain, additional photos would be useful
Some great photos of some poorly-known species!
