Eastern Whipbird

Psophodes nigrogularis

The Eastern Whipbird (Psophodes nigrogularis) is a distinctive bird found in the eastern forests of Australia. It is known for its loud, whip-crack call, which is often heard but the bird itself is difficult to spot due to its shy nature. This species has a striking black and white plumage, with a long tail and a distinctive white cheek patch. It forages on the forest floor for insects and small invertebrates. The Eastern Whipbird plays an important role in the ecosystem as a seed disperser and insect predator.
