The Helmeted Friarbird, Philemon buceroides, is a local bird to Cairns, and spreads along the coastal region of FNQ through to the Northern Territory. It is a larger bird and can grow up to 33 - 35cm from beak to tail.

Its preferred habitat is the rainforest, forest, woodlands and your garden if it is nicely grown. Its face is bare of feathers, and it likes to eat nectar, fruit and seeds and occasionally invertebrates. The Helmeted Friarbird typically can lay 2 - 4 eggs, with an incubation time of  15 - 18 days.
