The Crimson Chat is a small, brilliantly colored bird of arid Australia, famous for the male's striking crimson head and breast. It is highly nomadic, following rainfall and flowering events.
Where to spot
Arid and semi-arid shrublands, grasslands, and sparsely timbered areas across inland Australia.
How to spot
Look for its incredibly vibrant crimson plumage, particularly the male's. They are often seen feeding on nectar from low shrubs or on insects on the ground. Listen for their high-pitched, tinkling calls.
When to spot
Highly nomadic, best found during or after good rains when flowering plants are abundant. Can be seen year-round in suitable conditions.
