Regent Honeyeater Breed for Release
Taronga’s long-standing program has achieved successes across breeding, scientific innovation, reintroduction and population recovery. Nearly 500 zoo-bred Regent Honeyeaters have been released across New South Wales and Victoria to date with our team innovating to ensure the success of wild populations.
Taronga’s scientists and partners have even seen the revival of the Regent Honeyeater’s native song which had largely disappeared from wild populations. More work is needed to make certain this prolific pollinator doesn’t disappear from Australia’s sky.
