The wattled honeyeater is a comparable giant next to the cardinal honeyeater. They measure 19cm, and their fearless and aggressive nature makes them less wary than many other forest birds. Primarily nectivorous, the wattled honeyeater is also known to include soft fruits and berries in its diet. It is also more likely to include insects and spiders into its diet and because of its larger size is even able to occasionally capture small geckos and skinks (lizards). More

The beak of the Wattled Honeyeater is sturdier, more all-purpose: good both for flowers and insects. Perhaps because of its love of flowers, the segasegamau'u seems happy to live close to people, in gardens and plantations. Although much less common than the iao in the forest, it is the honeyeater that you're likely to see around villages. Around villages on Tutuila, that is; surprisingly, the segasegamau'u doesn't occur on any of the islands of Manu'a. More
