Description

At 15 to 16 cm (6 in) in length, the eastern yellow robin is one of the larger Australasian robins, and one of the most easily observed. Pairs and small family parties establish a territory—sometimes year-round, sometimes for a season—and seem little disturbed by human presence. They appear not to migrate any great distance, but will make local movements with the seasons, particularly to higher and lower ground.
Size
17 cm
Life Expectancy
15-20 years
Feeding Habits
Eastern Yellow Robin predominantly consumes insects, spiders, and arthropods. It forages by pouncing from low perches to the ground to capture prey, displaying unique hunting agility.
Habitat
Eastern Yellow Robin is found in diverse habitats including rainforests, both wet and dry eucalypt forests, heaths, mallee, and acacia scrublands. It is also present in areas such as riparian zones, woodlands, shrublands, and urban settings like gardens and parks. These environments characteristically have a thick shrub layer with sparse ground cover and a medium to dense understory, often in darker, shaded locales near water sources.
Dite type
Insectivorous

General Info

Distribution Area

The eastern yellow robin occupies a wide range of habitats: heaths, mallee, acacia scrub, woodlands, and sclerophyll forests, but is most often found in damper places or near water. Like all Australian robins, the eastern yellow robin tends to inhabit fairly dark, shaded locations, and is a perch and pounce hunter, typically from a tree trunk, wire, or low branch. Its diet includes a wide range of small creatures, mostly insects. Breeding takes place in the spring and, as with many Australian birds, is often communal. The nest is a neat cup made of fine plant material and spider web, usually placed in a fork, and expertly disguised with lichen, moss, bark, or leaves.

Species Status

Not globally threatened.
