Overview
Adults have olive-green upperparts, brown heads with a pale rear line, and grey-buff underparts. A creamy-yellow to orange ring surrounds each dark eye; young birds have blue rings.
They glean insects and some nectar in small flocks, mainly in eucalypt canopies. Cooperative groups share incubation and chick feeding. Bark, grass and hair are bound with web into a deep cup suspended by its rim.
