Noun

noisy miner (plural noisy miners)

1. A grey honeyeater, Manorina melanocephala, that has a large range of songs, calls, and alarms, is endemic to eastern and south-eastern Australia, and has a black head, orange-yellow beak and feet, and a yellow patch behind the eye.
   • 2016, Nigel Andrew, ‘Beware the Cassowary’, Literary Review, December:

     By keeping small birds out of huge areas and fatally degrading their habitat, the noisy miner has had a devastating effect on dry woodlands and the birds that ought to live in them.
