Daphoenositta Varied Sittella V 28 Inhabits most of mainland Australia except D C Moderate chrysoptera the treeless deserts and open grasslands. It inhabits eucalypt forests and woodlands, especially rough-barked species and mature smooth-barked gums with dead branches, mallee and Acacia woodland. Ephippiorhynchus Black-necked E 2 Restricted to coastal and near-coastal D D Low asiaticus Stork habitat. Inhabits wetlands, floodplains and deeper permanent water bodies. Occurs in shallow, permanent freshwater terrestrial wetlands and surrounding marginal vegetation. Nest in tall, live isolated paddock trees near freshwater swamps and construct large nesting platform. Gallinago hardwickii Latham's M 3 Soft wet ground, shallow water with D C Moderate Snipe tussocks, inundated parts of paddocks, seepage below dams, saltmarsh and mangrove fringes Glossopsitta pusilla Little Lorikeet V 1 Mostly occur in dry, open eucalypt forests D C Moderate and woodlands. They have been recorded from both old-growth and logged forests in the eastern part of their range, and in remnant woodland patches and roadside vegetation on the western slopes. Nest in small hollows (entrance approx. 3 cm) of Eucalyptus spp. between 2 - 15 m above the ground.
