The White Robin is a rare and unique bird native to the montane rainforests of Tasmania, Australia. Unlike the more commonly known European or American robins, the White Robin is distinguished by its predominantly white plumage, with some individuals displaying light gray or pale brown tinges on their wings and tail. This bird is relatively small, with a round body, and it exhibits a calm and inquisitive nature, often found perched on low branches or hopping along the forest floor.

This species thrives in cool, dense, and mossy forests, where it feeds on a diet of insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates. The White Robin is particularly skilled at gleaning prey from the foliage or capturing insects in mid-air. Its pale coloration, while unusual, provides some camouflage in the dappled light of the forest, helping it blend into its misty, shaded environment.

Breeding season for the White Robin typically occurs in the spring and early summer. The birds build small, cup-shaped nests made from moss, leaves, and spider webs, usually hidden among the dense undergrowth or on low tree branches. The female lays two to three eggs, which are incubated for about two weeks. Both parents share the responsibilities of feeding and protecting the chicks until they fledge. Despite its rarity, the White Robin is not currently considered threatened, but habitat conservation remains crucial for its continued survival in the wild.
