The western bristlebird (Dasyornis longirostris) is a species of bird in the family Dasyornithidae. It is endemic to the coastal heaths of western Australia (east and west of Albany).[3]

Description[edit]

Adults are 18–22 cm long. Its plumage is grey-brown. It has a shorter tail than other bristlebirds, yet it is still quite long tail is rufous, with darker brown stripes. Its body is rufous with dark brown under-surface feathers, giving it a scalloped look. It has a red eye, and the front of neck and face is off-white.

Its natural habitat is temperate shrubland, particularly low, dense shrubland.[4] It prefers coastal dunes and cliffs.[4] It is threatened by habitat loss.

It can survive fire and relocate to the fire boundary, and will occupy regrowth when this becomes suitable. It occurs more rapidly in higher-rainfall areas.[5]
