Weebills

The Weebill is Australia's smallest bird, averaging only 8 - 9 cm in length. Despite its small size it has a remarkably loud call as it forages for insects in the outer foliage of trees and bushes, often in family groups of 4 or 5 birds. It is found throughout most of Australia (except Tasmania) in drier woodlands, mallee scrubs and mulga.
