posted on 2019-01-01, 00:00 authored by Carol Probets, Grant Palmer, James FitzsimonsJames FitzsimonsThe Rockwarbler Origma solitaria is restricted to the sedimentary-rock formations around the Sydney region
of New South Wales and, like other species in the Acanthizidae, is mainly insectivorous, although its diet is considered

They involved Rockwarblers feeding at flowers of Heath-leaved Banksia Banksia ericifolia at two locations.
