EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Don Hadden, we witness the majestic Helmeted Friarbird indulging in a delectable feast on the vibrant Cairns esplanade. This species, found exclusively in eastern Queensland and parts of Northern Territory, is renowned for its love affair with flowering shrubs. As if wearing a tiny helmet, this avian connoisseur showcases its larger-than-life personality while perched gracefully on a branch. With its sleek black plumage contrasting against striking white markings around its face and neck, it's no wonder why this bird stands out from the crowd. With an insatiable appetite for nectar-filled blossoms, our feathery friend follows trees as they bloom across woodlands, forest edges, and even mangroves. Talk about dedication to fine dining! Amidst the picturesque Australian landscape, this single friarbird demonstrates that good taste knows no bounds. Its delicate beak delicately sips from each flower like a sommelier sampling rare wines. So next time you find yourself strolling along Cairns' stunning esplanade or exploring Australia's natural wonders, keep an eye out for these charming feathered foodies! They're sure to add some flavor and flair to your wildlife encounters.
