The Lovely Fairy-wren is a small, tree-dwelling bird endemic to northeastern Queensland, Australia. It is most often seen in the edges of rainforests and dense vegetation, where its blue and white plumage stands out among the foliage. This species is the most tree-dwelling of all Australian fairy-wrens, typically foraging above ground level.
