Near Threatened

The Short-tailed Grasswren is an Australasian fairywren or grasswren of arid and semi-arid central Australia. It forages low in shrubs, grasses, or woodland for insects and small seeds, with many species living in family groups or dense ground cover. It is not yet globally threatened, but range limits or habitat pressure mean it needs watching.
