Western Wattlebird

The Western Wattlebird (Anthochaera lunulata) is a honeyeater, a passerine bird in the family Meliphagidae. It was formerly lumped with the Little Wattlebird which it closely resembles. It is restricted to south-western Western Australia.

Famous quotes containing the word western:

    “So motionless, she seemed stone dead—just seemed:
    She was too old for death, too old for life,
    For as if jealous of all living forms
    She had lain there before bivalves began
    To catacomb their shells on western mountains.”
    —Edwin John Pratt (1882–1964)
