Weebill

Smicrornis brevirostris

The Weebill (Smicrornis brevirostris) is a small, insect-eating bird native to Australia. It is known for its diminutive size and distinctive high-pitched call. Weebills are often found in open woodlands, forests, and scrublands, where they forage for insects and spiders in the foliage and branches. They build intricate, pendulous nests in the outer branches of trees, using spider webs to bind the materials together. Weebills have a yellowish-green plumage with a pale underbelly, and their small size and rapid movements make them challenging to spot in the wild.

Habitat: Woodlands, forests, scrublands
