Shrubs are plants which have multiple woody stems growing out of the base. They are usually under 6 metres tall. Native examples include bush peas, wattles, grevilleas and banksias.
Shrubs provide nest sites and protection for small animals from predators. They produce flowers containing nectar, seeds and fruit that some species of birds, invertebrates and mammals use for food.
An eastern spinebill bird is a type of honeyeater. It feeds on insects and nectar from flowers such as grevilleas and mountain devils. The long, narrow beak of a spinebill is designed to reach deeply into tubular flowers to obtain nectar.
