They usually forage in the shrubs, taking insects from the foliage and nectar from the flowers, and they also build their delicately woven nests among the foliage of shrubs. The Singing Honeyeater has a plain grey-brown upperbody, a distinctive black streak through the eye from the bill to the neck, bordered by a yellow streak below the eye grading into a white throat, and a white to grey underbody streaked dark grey-brown.
There is a small, inconspicuous white ear-tuft, usually hidden by the yellow ear coverts feathers. The bill is black and the eye is dark brown. Young birds are similar to adults, with a lighter forehead and crown and a narrower, duller face marking.
New Holland Honeyeater
This widely-distributed species is known for its pleasant voice and is usually seen in small noisy groups of five or six birds. It differs from the former by having a longer black face streak, white on its throat and chest, and streaked underparts. It differs from the latter by being larger and having white on its face and no obvious yellow plume at the end of its face mask.
Two other species that share the Singing Honeyeater's black, yellow and white face markings do not share its habitat or range: The Singing Honeyeater is widespread on mainland Australia. Widespread in Western Australia except for the extreme south-west or northern Kimberley region, and not common in the Top End but otherwise widespread in the Northern Territory. The Singing Honeyeater is found mostly in open shrublands and low woodlands, especially dominated by acacias.
It is also be found in swamplands, along creeks and drainage channels.

It is often seen in urban parks and gardens and around farmyards, particularly in south-west Western Australia. It is also found in partly cleared lands with remnant woodlands and has been seen in plantations and in African Boxthorn thickets or isolated shrubs. The Singing Honeyeater feeds on nectar, insects and fruit. It forages in low shrubs or on the ground, usually alone, but sometimes in loose flocks.
It feeds at lower levels than most other honeyeaters.
The Singing Honeyeater forms monogamous pairs, with some long-term bonds. The open, often flimsy cup-nest is formed from matted grasses and lined with roots, wool or other mammal hairs. The eye is dark brown. Young birds are duller brownish and paler with softer, fluffier plumage. Gregarious, active and noisy with swift, erratic flight. Other black and white honeyeaters are much smaller, including the Crescent P. The White-cheeked Honeyeater is endemic to eastern and south-western Australia, ranging from east of the Great Divide in Queensland through coastal New South Wales, becoming scattered south to Jervis Bay.
The White-cheeked Honeyeater is usually found in moist heathlands, as well as around wetlands and in forests or woodlands with a heath understorey. Found in both temperate and subtropical zones. White-cheeked Honeyeaters feed mainly at flowers, in foliage, on bark or in the air and mainly eat nectar, but also insects. They often feed in small groups and may feed beside New Holland Honeyeater groups.
White-cheeked Honeyeaters pair monogamously for the breeding season, with males defending breeding territories that can be held for several years. Males aggressively attack other birds of their own and other species during the breeding season, but not familiar birds such as their own mates, relatives and resident neighbours.

There is not much competition between White-cheeked and New Holland Honeyeaters, as they choose different perching sites and have different nesting seasons. The female builds a cup-shaped nest from twigs, bark, and other plant materials, lined with pieces of flowers e. The nest is placed low in forked branches of trees or shrubs, often close to the ground, but well-concealed in dense foliage or in grass below shrubs and ferns. Both parents feed young. Loud clear double whistle, and a brief 'e-chip'.
