The Mallee Emu-wren is a critically endangered and highly specialized bird found exclusively in very specific mallee habitats. Its cryptic nature and declining habitat make it extremely difficult to observe.
Where to spot
Extremely dense, mature spinifex clumps under mallee eucalypt vegetation in isolated pockets of semi-arid southeastern Australia.
How to spot
Access to their habitat is restricted due to conservation efforts. If allowed, move slowly and quietly through the dense mallee, listening intensely for their soft, high-pitched trills and scanning for tiny movements within the spinifex.
When to spot
Best sought during the early morning when they are most active.

This species is particularly vulnerable to bushfires, as its preferred habitat of old-growth spinifex under mallee eucalypts takes a long time to regenerate.
