April 10, 2024 - Purple-backed Fairywren (Malurus assimilis) Found throughout much of Australia, these fairywrens live in shrubby habitats. They feed on arthropods and seeds, foraging in pairs or small flocks in shrubs and on the ground. Females build domed oval-shaped nests with side entrances from grass, twigs, bark, fur, and feathers in bushes, trees, fern clumps, or other vegetation. They incubate clutches of two to four eggs. Helpers from previous broods assist the parents with feeding the chicks.

A little study of a truly SUPERB fairywren! Tiny round bird anatomy has always been pretty difficult for me, since they hide basically all of their anatomy under one big layer of fluff.
