Small bird and wildlife haven

Information

Look out and listen for small birds here - they often flit through the shrubs and young eucalypts looking for small insects to eat. With its well-developed understorey, Flea Bog Flat provides lots of safe habitat for small birds such as the Double-barred Finch (Taeniopygia bichenovii) and Superb Fairy-wren (Malurus cyaneus). It also provides shelter and a water source for other native animals such as kangaroos, wallabies and echidnas, and is a corridor for wildlife connecting neighbouring bushland areas and reserves.
Did you know that birds often have different calls or songs depending on where they live? Watch the video above of Australia's smallest bird,the Weebill (Smicrornis brevirostris). Can you see or hear any Weebills in the bush around you? Do they sound different?
