| Yellow-throated miner range[2] | |
The yellow-throated miner (Manorina flavigula) is a species of colonial honeyeater, endemic to Australia. It is also known as the white-rumped miner. The distinctive white rump is easy to observe in the field and distinguishes it from the other miner species.[3] Yellow-throated miners are medium-sized, grey passerines with yellow throat markings, legs, and bare patches around the eye. The common name 'miner' is an alternative spelling of the word myna, mynah or minah, and is shared with other members of the genus Manorina. Though miners were originally named due to their resemblance to the common myna of South and Southeast Asia that shares similar yellow eye-patch and legs, common mynas are from the starling family and are not closely related to the honeyeater family.[4][5] Common mynas are an aggressive introduced pest in Australia, which causes some confusion with the native aggressive miners.
Yellow-throated miners feed on invertebrates, nectar, pollen, lerps, and seeds.[6] They are the most widely distributed of the genus Manorina and inhabit open woodlands and scrublands across most of Australia.[7] Yellow-throated miners live in groups, are social, noisy, and defend territory or resources from other avian species. Their behavior is generally compared to their close relative the noisy miner as they share postures, calls and interactions, though yellow-throated miners are not as well studied.[5]
