In Australia’s arid interior, this tough little bird makes its home among spinifex grasses and red desert stones, thriving where shade is scarce and heat is relentless. It rarely needs to drink, surviving on moisture from seeds and hardy plants. When alarmed, it runs swiftly rather than flies, weaving through thorny clumps with effortless agility — a dry-country specialist built for endurance in the harshest sun.
