Wattlebird is the common name for a group of birds in the Australian honeyeater family. Honeyeaters, like bees, are important pollinators, particularly for the Australian native plants that produce some of our most delicious honeys.

As pollinators, wattlebirds play an important role in supporting bee health. They can travel further than insect pollinators, which increases outcrossing and cross-pollination of plants, helping to increase plant diversity and ensure a balanced and thriving ecosystem that supports a healthy bee population.
