South Island Robin

Petroica australis

Least Concern

The South Island Robin is a small Australasian robin that forages from low perches or the forest floor for insects and other small invertebrates in New Zealand South Island. It is generally resident, using local habitat year-round while shifting within its range as food and cover change. Fun fact: this batch connects several unusual songbird lineages, from cliff-nesting rockfowl to wetland donacobius and oxpeckers that forage on large mammals.
