Western Thornbill

Acanthiza inornata

The Western Thornbill, known scientifically as Acanthiza inornata, is a diminutive and active bird belonging to the Acanthizidae family. It is a species that has made the southwestern parts of Australia its exclusive home.

Identification Tips

When attempting to identify the Western Thornbill, one should look for a small bird with a preference for flitting actively through shrubbery. Its appearance, while not elaborately adorned, is characteristic of the thornbill family.

Habitat

The natural habitat of this species is the Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation that is prevalent in its southwestern Australian range. Here, it finds the conditions it requires to thrive.

Distribution

Endemic to southwestern Australia, the Western Thornbill is a bird that is not found elsewhere, making it a special sighting for those who are birdwatching in this particular region of the world.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List has classified the Western Thornbill as Least Concern, indicating that, at present, there are no immediate threats to its population levels that would warrant a higher degree of conservation action.

Clean and easy to use
Really enjoying this app, it's clean and easy to use. I love the ease of being able to add those one-off birds without starting a whole checklist. I also like the social aspect, like the parts of my Facebook I like, without the ads and junk, just birds. Can't wait to see it become more populated.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you arenโ€™t on it, why not??
