Wallace's fairywren (Sipodotus wallacii) is a species of bird in the Australasian wren family, Maluridae. It is monotypic within the genus Sipodotus. It is found in New Guinea and the Aru Islands, where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
Size
13 cm
Feeding Habits
Wallace's Fairywren's diet is primarily insectivorous, foraging for insects 2-10 m above the forest floor amidst vines and bamboos. They feed in small family groups of 4-8 and often participate in mixed-species flocks.
Habitat
Wallace's Fairywren typically inhabits tropical rainforest regions, preferring environments where they can dwell among the trees rather than in the dense undergrowth. These birds are adapted to the generically dense and moisture-laden conditions of rainforests found across large, broad geographical swathes of the equatorial belt.
