Here's a little birdo that comes to visit. Not often but did today.
No idea what it is but it hovers ever so gracefully for the nectar. Loves the red flowers.
Googled βbrown and yellow bird long beak nectarββ¦ Might be an Eastern Spinebill?

you are right π
I love these little dudes, they're so beautiful when they're perched sideways or even upside down sometimes drinking nectar from the long-necked flowers.
New Holland Honeyeater perhaps?
Yes. I love these π, they come and sip from the orchids on my balcony. I have been trying to get pics but they are too quick .
but it's not the bird in the pic.
Yeah I think @melbaboutown@aussie.zone is right.
Those are much bigger and bright yellow and black. Don't know the one in the pic.
