Wattlebird \Wat"tle*bird`\, n.
   1. (Zo["o]l.) Any one of several species of honey eaters
      belonging to {Anthoch[ae]ra} and allied genera of the
      family {Meliphagid[ae]}. These birds usually have a large
      and conspicuous wattle of naked skin hanging down below
      each ear. They are natives of Australia and adjacent
      islands.

   Note: The best-known species ({Anthoch[ae]ra carunculata})
         has the upper parts grayish brown, with a white stripe
         on each feather, and the wing and tail quills dark
         brown or blackish, tipped with withe. Its wattles, in
         life, are light blood-red. Called also {wattled crow},
         {wattled bee-eater}, {wattled honey eater}. Another
         species ({A. inauris}) is streaked with black, gray,
         and white, and its long wattles are white, tipped with
         orange. The bush wattlebirds, belonging to the genus
         {Anellobia}, are closely related, but lack conspicuous
         wattles. The most common species ({A. mellivora}) is
         dark brown, finely streaked with white. Called also
         {goruck creeper}.

   2. (Zo["o]l.) The Australian brush turkey.
