The Pictorella Mannikin is an Australian finch with a distinctive scaled breast pattern. It is a social bird, often found in flocks in dry grasslands.
Where to spot
Found across northern Australia, inhabiting arid and semi-arid grasslands, savannas, and spinifex country, often near water sources.
How to spot
Look for flocks feeding on grass seeds on the ground. The scaled breast pattern is a key identifying feature. They are often found near waterholes.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round, but their presence in a specific area is dependent on seasonal rainfall and resulting seed crops. Best seen after good rains.
