The Kikau, or western wattled honeyeater, lives on islands of Fiji. It uses forests and mangroves and mainly eats flower nectar and insects, often foraging in or just below the canopy. This account follows the current species treatment of Foulehaio procerior.
Adults have dark olive upperparts with blackish mottling and scalloping, a finely spotted breast and a whitish belly. A narrow yellow bare-skin strip near the bill is bordered by black feathers, and the outer eye ring is yellow-orange. The sexes have the same plumage. Juveniles are darker and duller, with a smaller yellow strip.
It uses lowland rainforest, mangroves and montane rainforest. It mainly takes nectar and insects in or just below the canopy, fluttering between trees and sometimes hanging from twigs to reach flowers.
