Meet the Eastern Yellow Robin

The eastern yellow robin (Eopsaltria australis) measures 15 to 16 cm (6 in) in length, wearing gray upper parts fading to olive on the back, turning to bright yellow on the rump. Their wings and tail are dark brown to gray with a white bar through their flight feathers that can only be seen in flight. There is a splash of white on the chin, under which the rest of the throat, breast, and belly is yellow with a faint gray wash around the breast. The eyes are brown, and the bill black.

Both males and females look very similar.

Juvenile birds tend to resemble adult birds but in duller form.

The Eastern Yellow Robin is an Australasian robin of coastal and sub-coastal eastern Australia. 

These birds prefer to occupy areas that include heaths, mallee, acacia scrub, woodlands, and sclerophyll forests but are most often found in damper places or near water.

Eastern yellow robins dine on ants, bugs, spiders, moths, grasshoppers, and wasps, and catch flies on the wing during flight.

The breeding season for this bird is from July through to January when a cup-shaped nest is built using bark, fine twigs, moss, and grass bound together using cobwebs. The interior is lined with grass fibers into which up to three gray-green to pale blue eggs, which are flecked with red to purple spots. The nest itself is usually located in a slender fork or crotch of a tree 7 to 8 meters or even up to 25 meters above the ground. Eggs are incubated for around 16 to 17 days while the female is fed by the male. Young are fledged after 10 to 15 days.

This bird is regarded as of Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
