In the cool eucalyptus forests of southeastern Australia, this distinctive crested forager moves through the canopy with soft, creaking calls. It feeds on seeds, nuts, and native fruits, expertly cracking them with its powerful bill while hanging with acrobatic ease. What makes it extraordinary is its quiet role in forest renewal — by dispersing seeds and shaping tree growth through selective feeding, it helps maintain the balance of aging woodlands. Subtle in color yet unmistakable in voice, a gentle custodian of the Australian forest.
