Western Whipbird

Psophodes nigrogularis

Least Concern

The Western Whipbird is a secretive scrub bird known for carrying calls and ground-level foraging in southwestern Australia. It is usually resident, using dense cover or forest structure year-round and moving locally as food availability changes. Fun fact: many of these Australo-Papuan passerines are easier to detect by voice than by sight.
