What the Eastern Yellow Robin sounds like
ID tip
At 15 to 16 cm (6 in) in length and 15 to 28 g (0.03 to 0.06 lb), the eastern yellow robin is one of the larger Australasian robins, and one of the most easily observed. Pairs and small family parties establish a territory—sometimes year-round, sometimes for a season—and seem little disturbed by human presence. They appear not to migrate any great distance, but will make local movements with the seasons, particularly to higher and lower ground.
