The Olive-yellow Robin is a small, unobtrusive bird endemic to New Guinea's montane forests. It is characterized by its dull olive-yellow plumage and quiet demeanor, a member of the Petroicidae family.
Where to spot
Endemic to the montane rainforests of New Guinea, typically found at high elevations (above 1,500 meters), preferring the forest undergrowth and lower story.
How to spot
Look for a small, dull olive-yellow bird moving quietly through the dense undergrowth. It often perches low. Its calls are typically soft and high-pitched, easily overlooked.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during daylight hours, but its elusive nature means early mornings might offer better chances of a sighting.
