What is a "thornbill"?
A thornbill is a small passerine bird native to Australia and nearby regions, characterized by its compact size, short tail, and distinctive spiky bill. With its subtle coloring and intricate patterns, the thornbill often blends seamlessly with its forested habitat. Despite its small size, it is an energetic and agile bird, constantly on the move as it flits from branch to branch in search of insects and nectar. Known for its melodic and varied song, the thornbill fills the air with its sweet, high-pitched notes, adding a touch of musicality to the natural surroundings.
