Thieving of nesting material in 10 honeyeater species and six other passerines is described, in
the Bundarra-Barraba region west of Armidale, New South Wales during a study of Regent Honeyeater's
biology in 1995-96. Theft of nesting material was from both active and inactive nests. The
contribution of theft to nest parasite transfer (e.g. lice) and to nest failure in Meliphagidae is discussed.
