Examples
“Interesting records were reported of Spiny-cheeked Honeyeaters moving locally in the Port Phillip district, Vic during May and September 1998.”
“The spiny-cheeked honeyeater has a more generalized diet and the gastrointestinal tract is similar structurally and proportionally to other honyeaters.[…]Due to thir specialized gut, mistletoe birds can rapidly defecate strings of one to nine A.^([Amyema]) quandang seeds, whereas spiny-cheeked honeyeaters experience⟳ considerable difficulty in defecating large numbers of seeds.”
“Two other species of birds (the painted honeyeater and the spiny-cheeked honeyeater) also feed⟳ on mistletoes.”
