Social New Holland Honeyeater

New Holland Honeyeaters are extremely social. They form strong pairs and both parents share care of the chicks. When ready, the young birds set off on their own path in search of a social group.

“Being social includes spending time outdoors with friends, trying new activities together, and listening to others so everyone feels included.”
– O’Sullivan Beach Primary School Student

“So let’s be like the New Holland Honeyeater, kind, helpful, and always including others, so our whole community feels welcome.”
– O’Sullivan Beach Primary School Student
