The Bush Stone-Curlew is a large, ground-dwelling bird native to Australia. It has long legs, a slender body, and distinctive large yellow eyes. This nocturnal bird is known for its unique, haunting call, which can often be heard at night. It primarily inhabits open woodlands, grasslands, and scrublands, where it relies on camouflage to avoid predators. Bush Stone-Curlews feed mainly on insects, small invertebrates, and seeds. They are known for their strong pair bonds and often mate for life. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their habitats, as they face threats from habitat loss and predation by introduced species like cats and foxes.
