Yellow-throated Honeyeater stealing hair[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 13 Dec 2011 at 00:09:38 (UTC)

Original – A Yellow-throated Honeyeater (Lichenostomus flavicollis) stealing hair from a Tasmanian Pademelon (Thylogale billardierii) for nesting material, Melaleuca, Southwest Conservation Area, Tasmania, Australia
Reason
This bit of behaviour was used for the hook when a WP:DYK was written for Yellow-throated Honeyeater and is apparently well documented. The hook was: "Did you know that the Yellow-throated Honeyeater is known for collecting hair from live animals such as horses, dogs and humans for lining its nest?". I was very lucky to be in the right place at the right time in order to capture this bit of behaviour.
