White-browed Babbler

One of the more interesting bird species we have in our garden is the White-browed Babbler. This is one os several species of babblers in Australia, but the only one found near where we live.

I am always amused by these birds - they seem to be the clowns of the bird world, hopping around madly chasing one another or seeking a better place to find beetles and other bugs. All the time the mew like demented cats!

They tend to be found in family groups of 5 - 15 and the whole family will set to and make a rough, untidy nest of grass and fine twigs. Sometime it takes the flock less than a hour or two to make a nest. It is often used for roosting at night.
