Red Wattlebird
Anthochaera carunculata
Least Concern
The Red Wattlebird, a boisterous Australian native, is easily recognised by its vibrant red wattles dangling from the sides of its neck. With a mottled brown and grey plumage and a distinctive yellow belly patch, this bird is not only a visual treat but also an auditory spectacle with its varied and sometimes mimicking calls. Commonly found flitting through woodlands and urban gardens, the Red Wattlebird is as much a part of the Aussie landscape as the eucalyptus trees it frequents for nectar.
