Olive Whistler
Pachycephala olivacea Vigors & Horsfield, 1827
Pachycephalidae — Whistlers & Allies
Olive Whistler, Pachycephala olivacea, is a passerine of the whistlers and allies that breeds in south-eastern Australia and Tasmania. It was described by Vigors and Horsfield in 1827. The bird is mainly tied to wet forest, and in northern New South Wales it also occurs in Antarctic beech forest. Its range runs through south-eastern Australia and includes Tasmania, with records from the Bass Strait islands as well. It is an uncommon species, and in New South Wales it is vulnerable because of habitat fragmentation and introduced cats and foxes.
