Here is another extraordinary and Endangered (VIC, NSW) Australian bird - the Bush Stone-curlew! Did you know that curlews are actually nocturnal? They spend their time at night hunting and foraging anything from insects, molluscs, small lizards, seeds and even occasionally small mammals! If you live in an area where these curlews call home, you might hear their very unique, and slightly terrifying contact call. They exhibit an eerie, high pitched wailing at night with many other curlews joining

Our favourite Bush-stone Curlew Noname just layed an egg! This means she has become very comfortable in her new space 🥰. You can find Noname trotting around in our Kangaroo Walkabout. | WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo

Bush stone-curlews are listed as a Critically Endangered species in Victoria. Thanks to its fox-free status and suitable habitat, Phillip Island (Millowl) has been selected for their reintroduction into the wild.
