Feeding Habits
Western Thornbill predominantly consumes insects, including beetles, bugs, wasps, ants, and caterpillars but also nectar from Grevillea.

Seen in pairs, small groups, or mixed-species flocks.
Habitat
The western Thornbill thrives in diverse woodlands, including wandoo, jarrah, and marri forests enhanced by shrubby understoreys. It also inhabits riparian formations, mallee, mixed woodlands, and heathlands, as well as Banksia woodlands. This species shows a preference for environments with ample ground litter like logs and woody debris and can sometimes be found in wooded parks and gardens in broad geographical regions featuring coastal plains and low hills.
