Raising awareness about Victoria's critically endangered Helmeted Honeyeater

The Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater formed in May 1989 when the population of the Helmeted Honeyeater’s reached a critically low level of 50 birds. We share a concern for the future of our critically endangered Victorian bird emblem and want to contribute to the conservation of Australia’s unique flora and fauna.
