Golden-headed Cisticola

Cisticola eximius

The Golden-headed Cisticola is a small, insectivorous bird found in Australia and New Guinea. It is known for its distinctive golden crown and olive-brown upperparts. The underparts are pale with streaks, and the tail is long and often held upright. These birds are commonly found in grassy habitats, including grasslands, marshes, and agricultural fields. They are often heard before they are seen, as they produce a high-pitched, insect-like song. The Golden-headed Cisticola is not globally threatened and is considered of Least Concern by the IUCN.
