Across the dry woodlands and dusty clearings of inland Australia, this ash-gray storyteller moves in lively bands rarely seen alone. It forages on the ground for insects, seeds, and fallen scraps, probing leaf litter with steady persistence. What makes it extraordinary is its devotion to community — cooperative groups raising young together, sharing duties like a tight-knit council beneath the gum trees. A chorus of raspy calls in the heat-hazed air, yet a steadfast guardian of the outback’s social wild.
