.... fasciolatus is considered not threatened. The two species occur sympatrically and their breeding seasons overlap, but they prefer different habitats for breeding and are markedly different in their reproductive ecology. Males of M. fleayi formed dense chorusing aggregations in shallow stony riffles...

... foraging substrate, but they also probe under bark of live branches and trunks. Yellow-plumed Honeyeaters move between patches of nectar-rich flowers outside the colonies, aggregating where eucalypt blossom is abundant. Such movements can be described as locally nomadic and there was no evidence in the GWW...
