The Hooded Robin (*Melanodryas cucullata*) is a medium-sized Australian songbird found throughout inland and southern Australia’s open woodlands and shrublands. Males are instantly recognizable by their bold black-and-white plumage. These robins are often seen perched on low branches or stumps, scanning for prey before swooping to the ground.
