Introduction
Rainbow-bearded Thornbill is widespread but usually is uncommon, and its natural history is very poorly known. The range of flowering plants visited by Rainbow-bearded Thornbill is not well known, and there is no quantitative information on the relative contributions of insects vs nectar to the diet. There also is very little known about its breeding biology, as well as of demographic factors such as life span and survivorship, dispersal, population regulation, molts, territoriality and population density.
