Feeding Habits
Red-necked Crake forages primarily on amphibians, aquatic invertebrates, crustaceans, and molluscs, utilizing unique hunting techniques adapted to its diverse diet.
Habitat
The red-necked Crake typically inhabits lush, lowland environments characterized by dense vegetation. Its favored habitats include tropical rainforests, swamp and monsoon forests, as well as secondary growth areas including gallery forest and swamps with sago palms. They are often found near water sources such as pools, creeks, or swamps. The red-necked Crake has been observed inhabiting areas with dense undergrowth, vine thickets, and occasionally even suburban gardens with ample foliage or invasive Lantana thickets.

General Info

Distribution Area

Red-necked crakes live in the Moluccas, Lesser Sundas, New Guinea lowlands and adjacent islands, and north-eastern Australia. They are found in tropical rainforests and dense vegetation close to permanent wetlands.

Species Status

With a large range and no evidence of significant decline, this species is assessed as being of least concern. The species is little studied and seldom seen due to its secretive nature, but appears to be locally common in New Guinea. In Australia it has suffered declines due to habitat loss.
