"Chiming Wedgebills are expert ventriloquists, locating them by sound alone is a real challenge, as their calls often seem to come from different directions."
Field Guide
Chiming Wedgebill
4 sections
The Chiming Wedgebill (*Psophodes occidentalis*) is a grey-brown songbird found in Australia’s arid interior, well-known for its loud, chiming call that echoes through mulga woodlands and shrublands. This robust, compact bird is more often heard than seen, as it tends to remain hidden in dense vegetation across western and central Australia.
