The pink robin is a small passerine bird native to southeastern Australia. Its natural habitats are cool temperate forests of far southeastern Australia. *(Passerine birds are commonly known as perching birds or songbirds).

The Pink Robin is unusual in that both the male and female have pink colouring – so often, only the males of a species display bright colouring to attract their mate. Males have a distinctive bright pink chest, while the females have a subtler pinkish tint. The male has a small white patch on the forehead, and the female has the same spot, but buff-coloured. The contrast of the males’ black head and wings with bright pink chest makes it one of the most striking Australian small birds

Pink Robins can be hard to spot, not only because of their small size and darting movements, but because they are actually pretty shy. The males do not display the confident breeding antics of most birds, but rather rely mostly on their lurid pink chest and belly to lure in a mate.
