About These Birds
Australian Pipit
The Australian Pipit is a ground-dwelling songbird found in open grasslands and farmland across Australia. It has streaked brown plumage typical of pipits and walks along the ground feeding on insects and seeds. Its taxonomic status has been revised, with some authorities treating it as a distinct species from the Australasian Pipit.
African Pipit
The African Pipit is a streaked, ground-dwelling songbird of open grasslands and savanna, weighing around 25 g with a wingspan near 17 cm. It walks confidently on the ground and delivers its song from elevated perches or in aerial display flights.
