The Mountain Mouse-warbler is a small, shy bird endemic to the montane forests of New Guinea. It has a dull, mouse-like plumage that allows it to blend seamlessly into the dense undergrowth and leaf litter where it forages. Its movements are quick and often resemble those of a mouse.

How to spot
Requires patience and a quiet approach. Look for quick, furtive movements in dense undergrowth or on the forest floor. Listen for its soft, often squeaky calls.
When to spot
Observable year-round within its high-altitude forest habitat. Active during daylight hours.
