Feeding Habits
Black-tailed Treecreeper primarily consumes ants and beetles, supplemented with moths, grasshoppers, insect larvae, and spiders. Occasionally feeds on nectar. Forages on tree trunks, branches, and sometimes the ground, employing gleaning and probing techniques across varying heights.
Habitat
The black-tailed Treecreeper predominantly inhabits open eucalypt forests, woodlands, and savannas located in monsoon-tropical and semi-arid regions. These areas are typically characterized by dominant eucalypt species, such as Darwin woollybutt and Darwin stringybark, with variations including northern salmon gum and variable-barked bloodwood. A notable feature of its habitat is the occasional grassy understorey, but it is also found on stony ridges and slopes with sparse to no understorey. Additionally, black-tailed Treecreeper can reside in riparian woodlands alongside river red gums and may occupy acacia thickets when eucalypts are present.
