Spotted Catbird
Where to spot
Found in the humid rainforests and wet sclerophyll forests of northeastern Queensland, Australia. They prefer areas with dense undergrowth.
How to spot
Listen for their distinctive cat-like mewing or wailing calls, which often reveal their presence in dense foliage. Look carefully in the mid-canopy and understory, particularly near fruiting trees.
When to spot
Active year-round, but most vocal and therefore easier to locate during the breeding season, which typically runs from spring to early summer.

Unlike many other bowerbirds that build elaborate display structures, Spotted Catbirds do not construct a bower; instead, the male helps the female build a traditional nest.
