Blue Faced Honey Eater

Pokolbin, NSW, Australia view map

this cheeky bird prefers the nectar of the gods, beer, to real nectar and was helping himself to a beer if it was not closely monitored.

Very active on the outdoor tables at 4 Pines resort pub at lunchtime. Not interested in wine, but also happy to drink your water if left unattended. BTW, there is a huge lake, about 100m away so not the reason for helping himself to your drink. The wet feathers on his chest were a give away for his glass diving to reach the beer at the bottom of the glass

I guess grains and yeast are where he finds them, even in a glass of beer. I'm sure beer can not be good for a bird however.
Might even change his blue face to red after a few pints

Terrific photo however...
