Description
The contact call is a soft, short reed-like trill. The alarm call is the typical Malurus short churring notes repeatedly spat out and taken up by all members of the group. The males have the least distinctive song of the Australasian wren family; a soft whirring, buzzing trill, usually given from a sheltered vantage point deep within the foliage of shrubby vegetation.

Feeding Habits
Blue-breasted Fairywren forage on the ground, primarily consuming invertebrates such as beetles, grubs, ants, weevils, flies, and wasps.
Habitat
The blue-breasted Fairywren typically inhabits regions characterized by tall sand-plain heath and dense eucalypt woodlands. These areas provide a rich understorey, essential for their shelter and foraging. The bird favors environments that offer a blend of substantial vegetative cover with open spaces allowing for their active foraging and social behavior.
Dite type
Insectivorous
General Info
Behavior
It is not a common species, and being secretive by nature it is not an easy bird to observe. However, the females may be induced to show themselves if the wren distress call is imitated. The adult males are even more shy than the females and are usually only glimpsed skulking in the bushes.
Distribution Area
The range of the blue-breasted fairywren is inland south-western Western Australia and the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia. Originally it was thought to only occur in Western Australia, but was later found in the more eastward area, where it was for some time mistaken for one of the many forms of the variegated wren. The distribution of the species is unusual in that there is a gap in their range of three hundred kilometres; from the head of the Great Australian Bight to their reappearance on Eyre Peninsula.
