The Pink Robin is a small, vibrant bird native to southeastern Australia, easily recognized by the male's striking deep pink breast, black upperparts, and a small white spot above the bill. Females are duller.

Where to spot

Found in southeastern Australia, inhabiting cool, moist temperate rainforests, wet eucalypt forests, and dense gully vegetation, often near watercourses.

How to spot

Look for the male's distinctive deep pink breast. They typically forage in the lower and mid-story, often sallying out from low perches to catch insects. Listen for their soft, tinkling calls.

When to spot

Resident year-round, though some altitudinal movements may occur. Most conspicuous during the breeding season (spring-summer) when males are brightly colored.
