The Crested Bellbird is a distinctive Australian songbird, named for its prominent crest and its beautiful, bell-like calls. It is a ground-foraging species found in arid and semi-arid woodlands.
Where to spot
Widespread across arid and semi-arid Australia, inhabiting a variety of woodlands and scrublands, particularly those dominated by mulga and acacia.
How to spot
The key to finding this bird is to listen for its loud, bell-like calls, often described as 'tick-tock-a-too.' Be aware of its ventriloquial abilities. Scan the ground and low shrubs, as it often forages there.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal during the breeding season (spring and summer), but its calls can be heard at any time of year. Best observed in the cooler parts of the day.

The Crested Bellbird is renowned for its remarkable ventriloquial calls, making it incredibly difficult to pinpoint its location even when its loud, ringing song is clearly heard.
