Flying
friends are another group of species who always astonish us with their
multi-colored, unique feathers. One such striking bird beauty is the purple
crowned fairywren. It is a quite distinctive bird due to the purple-colored
feather crown present in the center of its head.
The
purple-colored crown can only be seen in males. Anyhow, both the genders have a
blue tail that contrasts the brown plumage.
They are
native animals to the Northern part of Australia. They normally live in the riparian
habitat which has a large density of vegetation. They aren't social animals
since they do not live in urbanized habitats. Unfortunately, a reduction of the
bird community has been witnessed due to fires, invasive species, and livestock
grazing.
Their meals
depend on seeds and the invertebrates they find.
You will
seldom witness their social traits. They do not often hang out with the
partners. But, the females will mate with other individuals despite choosing a
male partner for the mating season. The usual amount of eggs they lay is around
2-3. An incubation period also can be seen.
