Brown Thornbill.

The brown thornbill can be found in the eastern and southeastern parts of Australia, including Tasmania.^[3] It is usually found within 300 kilometres (190 mi) of the coast.^[7] It shares a substantial part of its range in the Great Dividing Range and the Mt Lofty Ranges with the inland thornbill.^[3] It is also common in the Blue Mountains.^[7] The subspecies Acanthiza pusilla pusilla and the subspecies Acanthiza pusilla diemenensis have been observed near the Australian Capital Territory and on Tasmania, respectively.^[6]

The brown thornbill lives at elevations of up to 1,200 metres (3,900 ft). It is found in dry forests, rainforests, shrublands, and near rivers.^[3]
