Papuan Treecreeper

Cormobates placens

The Papuan treecreeper, known scientifically as Cormobates placens, is a captivating species of bird that belongs to the Climacteridae family. This avian wonder was once considered a mere subspecies of the white-throated treecreeper but has since been recognized as a distinct species in its own right.

Identification Tips

When observing the Papuan treecreeper, one should note its adept climbing abilities, a characteristic it shares with its relatives. Its plumage and physical features, however, set it apart as a unique species within the highlands where it resides.

Habitat

The highlands of New Guinea offer a lush and verdant home to the Papuan treecreeper. Here, amidst the dense foliage, it thrives and displays its remarkable climbing prowess.

Distribution

This species is endemic to the highlands of New Guinea, where it can be found scaling the trunks of trees in search of sustenance.

Behaviour

The Papuan treecreeper exhibits a behavior typical of its family, with a particular proclivity for ascending the trunks of trees. This activity is not just for show, as it plays a crucial role in the bird's search for food.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List has classified the Papuan treecreeper as Least Concern, indicating that, for now, this species does not face immediate threats to its survival. However, one must remain vigilant, as the status of wildlife can change with the shifting tides of the natural world and human influence.

Great app for learning Birds
I’ve been using the app for a couple of months and love it....Someone said it’s like a real life Pokémon Go for birds. They’re not far off! It’s something that the family can do that gets you out and about. Well worth downloading no matter your age.
