Habitat

The Western Yellow Robin very selectively occupies sites according to habitat attributes at various spatial scales. At microhabitat scale, they prefer to occupy high density canopy, leaf litter and logs than in unoccupied sites, whereas on landscape scale occupies sites away from the woodland/agricultural ecotone. Studies have showed that the main reason behind this is higher abundance of leaf litter prey and prey associated with logs compared with more open sites with a low canopy density and low log density.
