Very grateful to have got my wish to tattoo a Regent Honeyeater. Thankyou Roxy! I am very keen to tattoo more of these beautiful birds. The regent honeyeater (Anthochaera phrygia) is a critically endangered bird endemic to southeastern Australia. Less than 80 years ago, it was one of the most commonly encountered species in eucalyptus forests, ranging from Adelaide to Rockhampton in flocks. The Regent Honeyeater is now confined to Victoria and New South Wales, and is strongly associated with the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range. There are only about 300 mature regent honeyeaters left in the wild, largely due to urban development and the loss of woodland habitat, and the critically endangered species is seen as being on the brink of extinction.
