Pilot Bird

The Pilotbird is a large, plump species of acanthizid, measuring around 18 cm in length and weighing 27 g. It has a large head and a short bill. The plumage is mostly brown with scalloping on the chest and an orangeish throat. The species is highly terrestrial. The name of the species comes from its supposed habit of following lyrebirds, taking prey that they flush. This habit is well known but seldom observed.

The Pilot Bird is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Pilot Bird Scheme has been established since 2000. It is one of our major activities which is conducted by the Northcote Hall Tutorial Team. The Scheme aimed at providing summer job opportunities for our residents, and to assist several partnering schools to deliver their summer programmes. During April and May, our Tutorial Team will contact different primary and secondary schools in the nearby district and see if they need any coordinators for their summer programmes. More
