Bellbird being harassed by bees


A bellbird is perched on a garden feeder, looking outwards. There is a bee climbing onto its tail. Two bees are in flight near its face as they try to steal some sugar water. The feeder has stops, which are pushed down by the bird's beak, to prevent the bees accessing the sugar water.
