The Green Catbird is a striking bowerbird easily identified by its vibrant green plumage and thick, robust bill. It is well-known for its distinctive cat-like calls that echo through the forest.
Where to spot
Found in the rainforests and wet sclerophyll forests along the eastern coast of Australia, ranging from southeastern Queensland to eastern Victoria.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, wailing, cat-like calls that are unmistakable in the forest. Look in the mid-to-upper canopy near fruiting trees, as they primarily feed on a variety of fruits.
When to spot
Active year-round, though its characteristic calls are more prevalent and easier to hear during the breeding season, typically from spring to early summer.
Unlike many other bowerbirds renowned for their display structures, the Green Catbird does not construct an elaborate bower; instead, both sexes cooperate in building a simple, cup-shaped nest for breeding.
