About These Birds
Bicoloured Scrubwren
The Bicoloured Scrubwren is a small scrubwren found in the rainforests of New Guinea and the Moluccas. It has a dark brown back and rufous underparts, creating the bicolored pattern. It forages in the forest undergrowth for insects and other small invertebrates, often near the ground in dense vegetation.
Biak Gerygone
The Biak Gerygone is a near-threatened small warbler-like bird endemic to Biak and Supiori islands in West Papua, Indonesia. It has yellowish underparts and olive-brown upperparts typical of gerygones. It forages actively in forest canopy, gleaning insects from leaves, and is restricted to its small island range.
