SLENDER-BILLED THORNBILL

I AM RINO.

This thornbill can be found in shrublands and salt marshes, typically those around salt lakes or low heath on sand plains. It eats mostly insects and spiders captured in the shrubs of its habitat. It rarely feeds on the ground, preferring instead the higher elevations of shrubs and trees.

The slender-billed thornbill is rarely observed alone. They are usually seen in flocks of approximately eight birds or in pairs. Thornbill nests are small and built in low shrubs. They are constructed of grass, bark, cobwebs, and other shrubland debris. Females lay up to three eggs during the breeding season, which runs from July until November.

BULLOCK BUSH

A Bullock Bush seedling growing in a bilby’s foraging hole, or what we like to call a ‘bilby pot plant’. Earth-moving, native foragers like bilbies and bettongs have co-evolved with Australia’s native vegetation to become ‘ecosystem engineers’: their digging behavior aerates the soil, increases water infiltration, enhances the nutrient content, and catches seeds like this one. AWC’s 1,100 ha feral-free area at Yookamurra Wildlife Sanctuary in South Australia protects three species of threatened, burrowing mammals, including the Bilby, and both the Burrowing and Brush-tailed Bettong

MAJOR MITCHELL COCKATOO

I AM TINO-ČOKOLINO

Major Mitchell's cockatoo (Lophochroa leadbeateri), also known as Leadbeater's cockatoo or the pink cockatoo, is a medium-sized cockatoo restricted to arid and semi-arid inland areas of Australia. It is here placed in its own monotypic genus Lophochroa, though to include it in Cacatua as others do is not wrong as long as the corellas are also included there. They are also a type of cockatoo.
