thornbill
A thornbill is a type of small passerine bird, predominantly found in Australia and New Guinea, which belongs to the Acanthizidae family. Thornbills are known for their small size, ranging between 8cm to 10cm and their active behavior. They usually live in forests, woodlands, and gardens, feeding mainly on insects and seeds. They are named after their thin, pointed bills, which they use to pick insects out from under bark or in crevices.
