A mellivoraWattlebird Wat"tle*bird`, n.
1. (Zo["o]l.) Any one of several species of honey eaters
belonging to Anthoch[ae]ra and allied genera of the
family Meliphagid[ae]. These birds usually have a large
and conspicuous wattle of naked skin hanging down below
each ear. They are natives of Australia and adjacent
islands.
Note: The best-known species (Anthoch[ae]ra carunculata)
has the upper parts grayish brown, with a white stripe
on each feather, and the wing and tail quills dark
brown or blackish, tipped with withe. Its wattles, in
life, are light blood-red. Called also wattled crow,
wattled bee-eater, wattled honey eater. Another
species (A. inauris) is streaked with black, gray,
and white, and its long wattles are white, tipped with
orange. The bush wattlebirds, belonging to the genus
Anellobia, are closely related, but lack conspicuous
wattles. The most common species (A. mellivora) is
dark brown, finely streaked with white. Called also
