http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/white-winged-fairy-wren 1/1

My common name is a White-winged Fairy-

wren,

If you are clever try my scientific name: Malurus

leucopterus! 

I have striking colours: black, white, grey and

blue

And I like eating insects; especially delicious

beetles and yummy spiders!

My small size allows my species to build a nest in

dense, thorny bush

It is tiny, only 10cm x 6cm with a secret side

entrance!

My clutch is 2-4 eggs with an incubation time of

at least 24 days.

If you want to help me survive please do not

clear the native vegetation in the Mallee region.
