单词 honeyeater
释义

honeyeater

/ˈhʌnɪiːtə /
noun
An Australasian songbird with a long brush-like tongue for feeding on nectar.
  • Family Meliphagidae: numerous species and genera.
Bell-birds and tuis - forest birds in the nectar-feeding family called honeyeaters - have brushlike tongues that enable them to lap up honeydew drops easily....
  • Of the 170 species of honeyeaters in Australia and the Pacific Islands, only three - the tui, the bellbird, and the stitchbird (the latter surviving only on offshore islands) - are found in New Zealand.
  • Still, bees are probably not as important to these mistletoes as native honeyeaters are, because the bees enter far fewer flowers.
