  1. A grey honeyeater, Manorina melanocephala, that has a large range of songs, calls, and alarms, is endemic to eastern and south-eastern Australia, and has a black head, orange-yellow beak and feet, and a yellow patch behind the eye.
    • 2016 December, Nigel Andrew, “Beware the Cassowary”, in Literary Review:
