Australia has a number of species of thornbills, small birds which feed on the ground or in the foliage of trees and bushes. The most common species in our garden and mallee scrub near our house are the beautiful Yellow-rumped Thornbills.
Quite often we see or hear flocks of 5 - 15 moving through the garden calling to each other as they feed. On hot days in the summer they are regular visitors to our bird baths giving us excellent views of this tiny bird.
