Field Guide
Eastern Whipbird
4 sections
The Eastern Whipbird is a secretive songbird native to the forests of eastern Australia. Best known for its loud, whip-crack duet call, this bird is far more often heard than seen, as it prefers to remain hidden in dense undergrowth. Its presence is a hallmark of wet forests and thickly vegetated gullies from Victoria through to central Queensland.
