Interesting, I thought they were mostly honeyeaters, but maybe they are more omnivorous?

By the way, I think it's Noisy Miner - though the other bird is the Indian Mynah - no idea why the different spellings.

From what i have read so far i think most honeyeaters eat insects as well?

Yea i keep naming my birds wrongblush. I remember reading somewhere that the noisy is a miner but the indian is a starling? Could be wrong though and i don't think it will be the first or last time that i am.
