About These Birds

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.

Atherton Scrubwren

The Atherton Scrubwren is a Vulnerable small bird restricted to the rainforests of the Atherton Tablelands in Queensland, Australia. Weighing about 11.4g with a wingspan of 11.4cm, it forages through dense leaf litter and undergrowth for insects and invertebrates. Its restricted range makes it sensitive to habitat loss and climate change.
