Breeding and foraging habitat
• Northern population: within the known or likely range and in habitat that occurs in open forest with dense tussocky grass understorey and sparse mid-storey near rainforest ecotone. The northern fire regime is between 3–6 years and of variable intensity depending on the habitat condition.
• Central and southern populations: within the known or likely range and in habitat that includes low vegetation including heath and open woodland with a heathy understorey. Birds reach maximum densities of 3–4 birds per 10 ha in habitat that has not been burnt for at least 15 years.
