large-bill scrubwren 2

Scientific Name: Sericornis magnirostra

Average size: 11cm

In south-eastern Australia, the Large-billed Scrub-wren rarely builds its own nest. Instead it takes over old or disused nests of other birds, particularly that of its larger relative, the Yellow-throated Scrub-wren, sometimes putting down a new lining over abandoned or infertile eggs.
