This miner is a grey bird, with a black head, orange-yellow beak and feet, a distinctive yellow patch behind the eye and white tips on the tail feathers. As the common name suggests, the noisy miner is a vocal species with a large range of songs, calls, scoldings and alarms, and almost constant vocalizations particularly from young birds. they are found in a broad arc from Far North Queensland through New South Wales and Victoria to Tasmania and eastern South Australia, the noisy miner primarily inhabits dry, open eucalypt forests that lack understory shrubs.
