Description
The Australian Red-capped Robin hunts a tasty Stag Beetle.
The Red-capped Robin is one of the most brightly colored birds in the Australian desert. Its hunting technique involves making hopping leaps across the ground with wings partially open to flush insects.
Both male and female Red-capped Robins respond strongly to playback of their species' song by flying to the source, flitting about in agitation, and sometimes replying with their own song.
This Robin population is in a noticeable decline due expansion of human populations and the introduction of domestic cats in their forage areas.
The "wow" plant in the background is Mulga (Acacia aneura) from xFrog's Oceania 2 library.
