About the Yellow Wattlebird
The yellow wattlebird (Anthochaera paradoxa) is a species of bird in the honeyeater family Meliphagidae. The yellow wattlebird was described by French zoologist François Marie Daudin as Corvus paradoxus in 1800. The generic name Anthochaera derives from the Ancient Greek anthos 'flower, bloom' and khairō 'enjoy'. The specific epithet paradoxa derives from the Ancient Greek paradoxos meaning 'strange, extraordinary'. "Yellow wattlebird" has been designated as the official common name for the species by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC). Other common names include the "long wattlebird" or "Tasmanian wattlebird".
