About These Birds
Banded Yellow Robin
The Banded Yellow Robin is a small robin-like bird of the family Petroicidae found in forests and woodland of New Guinea. Weighing about 25.3g with a wingspan of 17.3cm, it has yellow underparts with a distinctive banded breast pattern. It perches upright on low branches and sallies for insects on the forest floor.
Black Robin
The Black Robin is one of the world's rarest birds, with entirely black plumage, small bright eyes, and delicate feet. It is endemic to the Chatham Islands of New Zealand and was brought back from the brink of extinction—from just five individuals in 1980—through intensive conservation management. It inhabits remnant forest patches and feeds on insects, invertebrates, and small lizards found in leaf litter and on tree bark.
