Feeding Habits
White-throated Honeyeater primarily consume invertebrates like insects and spiders, and nectar from flowers such as Eucalyptus. They forage actively at various tree levels, utilizing methods like probing flowers and gleaning foliage. White-throated Honeyeater exhibit unique feeding in mixed-species flocks, highlighting their social foraging behavior.
Habitat
The white-throated Honeyeater primarily inhabits open eucalypt forests and woodlands, often with a grassy or shrubby understorey, and regions with paperbarks, Grevillea, Lophostemon, and Livistona palms. It also frequents riparian woodlands defined by bloodwoods or river red gums, as well as dense paperbark forests, semi-arid riparian zones, and occasionally savannas and vine scrubs. Adjacent to more arid environments, it may inhabit dry woodlands or savannas. In urban areas, one might observe the white-throated Honeyeater in parks and gardens. While it mainly resides at the intersection of forests and open habitats, it also adapts to environments including cypress pines or mangroves. In high-rainfall areas, the white-throated Honeyeater is abundant in riparian zones with heavy vegetation or even sparse undergrowth, some distance from water bodies.
