They prefer feeding upon small invertebrates, such as ants and beetles, in the extremely dense understory and vegetative cover that only occurs after environmental damages.

A reason that the noisy scrubbird's populations are so threatened is due to them being a very endemic species with specific living conditions and niche.

The nest is a circular-shaped structure typically built in low-lying shrubbery, rushes or sedges and is made from common sticks, leaves and decaying plant matter.

[1] The species was presumed extinct when Edwin Ashby searched unsuccessfully at Ellensbrook (Margaret River) in 1920, although he noted a report by a resident of its call and movements in deep karri forest and anticipated it would be rediscovered in similar habitat.

Forest dieback due to this fungi has been shown to increase the amount of predators in the area, but has not been proven to have any effect on the scrubbird's populations yet.

[3] Translocations to native ranges have been attempted several times with little success due to the noisy scrubbird requiring a very specific habitat.

[4] The best conservation method would be to reintroduce the scrubbird to its native ranges by carefully monitoring the populations and controlling forest fires.
