The noisy miner has a mating display flight song: a soft warble of low-frequency notes given during short, undulating flights by the male, and responded to by the female with a low-frequency whistle. [18] The noisy miner is found in open woodland habitats, where it is an advantage to call from the air, so as to overcome sound attenuation. [22]
Manorina is a genus of Australian endemic honeyeaters, containing four species: the black-eared miner (M. melanotis) the yellow-throated miner (M. flavigula), the noisy miner (M. melanocephala) and the bell miner (M. melanophrys). The genus is notable for the complex social organisation of its species, which live in colonies that can be further ...
Yellow-throated miners can hybridize with both noisy miners and endangered black-eared miners, but hybrids with noisy miners seem rare, even though their ranges overlap significantly and they are seen in mixed flocks. [26] However, hybridization with black-eared miners is one of the greatest threats to the black-eared miner's continued ...
Nectar-eating birds that have been observed feeding at the flowers include bell miner (Manorina melanophrys), noisy miner (M. melanocephala), white-cheeked honeyeater (Phylidonyris nigra), New Holland honeyeater (P. novaehollandiae), crescent honeyeater (P. pyrrhopterus), white-eared honeyeater (Nesoptilotis leucotis), brown honeyeater ...
Noisy miner and wattle birds have been observed feeding their fledglings. The male's sexually dimorphic plumage is black, like a raven. They are of a similar size to ravens and are known to have territories that overlap with ravens. They have also been observed being mobbed by noisy miners and wattle birds in the same way as ravens (egg ...
The noisy miner (Manorina melanocephala) is a winner of these human-altered landscapes, and is quite aggressive towards other small insectivores, such as the jacky winter. The jacky winter suffers quite negatively from the presence of the noisy miner, as it cannot outcompete it for food resources.
Compared to the closely related noisy miner, [20] bell miners prefer a denser habitat with a thick understory (<5 m), but a sparse midstory (5–15 m) and canopy (>15m). [21] In an undisturbed setting, bell miners choose habitat with an understory of shrubs, ferns, sedges, and rainforest vines. [ 22 ]
