Feeding Habits
Yellow-eared Honeyeater primarily feed on nectar, with insects supplementing their diet. They usually forage in the upper middle canopy, often singly or in pairs, indicative of potential pair bonds.
Habitat
Yellow-eared Honeyeater thrives in a variety of forested landscapes, predominantly in the environmental niches comprising monsoon forests, edges of dense woodlands, riparian zones lined with trees, areas of regrowth after previous disturbance, and the open, sprawling forests dominated by Eucalyptus urophylla species. These birds typically inhabit environments that can be broadly categorized within lowland regions and are not confined exclusively to specific altitudinal gradients.
