TFA blurb review
The scarlet myzomela (Myzomela sanguinolenta) is a small bird of the honeyeater family Meliphagidae native to Australia. It was described by English ornithologist John Latham in 1801. At 9 to 11 cm long, it is the smallest honeyeater in Australia. It has a short tail and relatively long down-curved bill. The male is a striking bright red with black wings, while the female is entirely brown. It is more vocal than most honeyeaters; its varied calls include a bell-like tinkling. Found along most of the eastern coastline, the scarlet myzomela is migratory in the southern parts of its range. Its natural habitat is forest, where it forages mainly in the upper tree canopy for insects as well as nectar. Up to three broods may be raised over the course of a breeding season. The female lays two or rarely three flecked white eggs in a cup-shaped nest 5 cm across, high in a tree. The species is not threatened.

Casliber (and anyone else interested): thoughts and edits are welcome. This is the last batch of blurbs for older FACs for a while. I'll be starting a wikibreak tomorrow, but I'll keep an eye on this page. - Dank (push to talk) 15:23, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
