Sunny is a lonely Regent Honeyeater. Yearning for others of his kind, he searches high and low but cannot find them.

In the recent past, Sunny's kin travelled in flocks, and the blossom-filled woodlands echoed with their song. Now, only fragments of woodland remain, and the songbirds are gone.

One day, Sunny hears a unique melody full of hope. Will Sunny find what he is looking for?

A lyrical story of loss and longing, finding your flock, and maybe...even love.

Non-fiction information follows the main narrative, along with examples of other species that benefit from the protection of box-ironbark woodlands, with images annotated with their common and scientific names.
