I only learnt the name of this bird until a former mate in Perth Australia told me about it.
Extraordinarily plumaged songbird with white facial markings
that lend it an almost comical whiskered appearance. Brown overall, with
accents of yellow, buff, purple, plum, blue, and orange throughout the plumage.
Inhabits montane forest edge with dense shrubbery or grassy cover, but often
emerges out onto roadsides and paths to forage, often crossing the road close
to vehicles. Moves in noisy flocks or in pairs, giving soft contact calls and
harsh rattling and whistling calls when alarmed. Song, a melodic tinkling, is
simple but pleasant.
