[6] Another key recognisable feature is the bare blue skin present under the eye which widens over the cheek.

[8] The top of the head and body are a dark grey-brown with a dull white fringe present on the nape which flows around to a wide patch on the side of the neck.

[6] The tail feathers also tend to appear with a shallower cut, unlike those of adult little friarbirds.

[2] In Victoria, the little friarbird is seen in the north-central region of the state, and near prominent bodies of water, such as Hattah Lakes.

[6][7] Pairs share the role of building the nest which is a deep open cup that is flimsy and able to be seen through (eggs are visible).

[4][5][6] The nest comprises a large variety of materials including bark fiber, fine grass, spiders’ web, rootlets, and hair.

[2][6] The nest is usually built over a water body low in tree branches, 2–10 meters high, and suspended from twigs or within dropped foliage.

[9][2][4][7] The eggs appear chestnut in colour and can be a whitish pink to salmon red, or spotted purplish-red to purple.

[2] Up to 2 broods can be raised within a single breeding season with the female being the sole incubator of the eggs.
