“…An intriguing unresolved question is why for the same pair in different seasons, the male that fed the nestling in season S1 (Nest N2) did not come to Nest N4 in S2. The feeding rate of the Dusky Honeyeater (largely on nectar) has been described as very low (8.9 feeds/h: Noske & Carlson 2011) but for two large Australian Honeyeaters (the Red Wattlebird Anthochaera carunculata and Noisy Friarbird Philemon corniculatus) it is 5.4 and 6.6 feeds/h, respectively (Tokue & Ford 2007), and in our study it is only 2.7 feeds/h for the female Crow Honeyeater. In S1, prey items 21-40 mm long constituted 61% of the animal items brought by the pair to the nestling, with an average feeding rate of 4.2 times/h (male and female combined).…”

“…From the time that the nestling was 6 days old, all faecal sacs were swallowed (an average of 24/day), except for the first one in the morning, which was taken away by the female; perhaps it contained more toxins and/or was unappetising. The average removal rate of faecal sacs (1.7 sacs/h) was similar in the Dusky Honeyeater (1.6 sacs/h: Noske & Carlson 2011) but much lower in the Red Wattlebird (0.3 sac/h) and Noisy Friarbird (0.9 sac/h) (Tokue & Ford 2007).…”
