A general term for birds of the genus Pardalotus in the family Flowerpecker, order Passeriformes. In the strict sense, it refers to one of these species. There are 7-8 species in this genus, distributed in Australia and Tasmania. Total length is about 10 cm. As its name suggests, it is a beautiful and adorable little bird with a gray or dark green body, but with yellow or red feathers in some parts, and many species have thin white stripes or polka-dot-like spots on the head and wings. Like flowerpeckers, it has a strong and short beak and a short tail. It lives in pairs or small groups in eucalyptus forests and savannas, feeding on insects (especially scale insects) in the trees.
