Hatching inside the mound, the chicks use their incredible leg strength to dig through a metre of soil to reach the surface. It’s a task that can take up to 15 hours!

The Malleefowl is one of Australia’s most fascinating and mysterious birds. They live in some of Australia’s harshest environments – often far from human habitation. Out of sight and reach of routine monitoring, they could easily slip into extinction. But a new project is trying to change this. For decades, conserving the beloved Malleefowl has focused on fox baiting.

Teamwork fail 😄 Malleefowl (Leipoa ocellata) work in pairs, shifting sand around their mounds to adjust the temperature inside where their eggs are incubating. 🥚 These two, however, seem to be out of sync! 🐦 📹 @malleefowlaus @australiangeographic | West Oz Wildlife

Waking up on Saturday morning like...🐣 This is incredibly rare footage of a hatching Malleefowl. Joe Benshemesh from National Malleefowl Recovery Team captured this while in the field for a translocation project led by local landholders, the Riverina Local Land Services and the National Malleefowl Recovery Group (with support from the National Landcare Program). Malleefowls are ground-dwelling, shy and seldom seen. They are listed as Vulnerable nationally and according to the IUCN Red List of T

🐦 Protecting Our Yungkay — the Malleefowl at Mawonga Over on the eastern side of Mawonga, our extensive mallee woodlands provide vital habitat for at least five confirmed active Malleefowl mounds. As of 4 July 2025, the Malleefowl is officially listed as endangered in New South Wales and nationally vulnerable, highlighting the urgency of conservation efforts in the region. To help protect these unique birds, we sought and received funding from the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust to construc

✋ Slow down for vulnerable malleefowl. This rare close-up footage of one of a pair of malleefowl was captured Monday morning by local photographer Bec Smart. Bec said she spotted this one on the side of the road halfway between Port Kenny and Wudinna, with the other bird 40 metres away. “I don’t see them very often, and I’ve never seen two before,” she said. 📲 Personalise your news & stay in the know with the ABC NEWS app: https://ab.co/abcnewsapp | ABC Eyre Peninsula

A Sand Goanna (Varanus gouldii) doing a quick partial lap of the Malleefowl mound - starting on the top right edge in case you miss it! I am actually a little surprised by how unconcerned they are by it being there. Certainly in the right circumstances, the Goanna would have a good go at munching on an egg and I would have thought the Malleefowl would have been keen to shoo it away. With the mound this well covered in deep and loose sand, the Goanna poses no direct threat to the eggs. | Explore

This World Soil Day meet a bird championing soil science. 🌍🌱 Malleefowls use soil and leaf litter to create giant 4-metre mounds, which they lay their eggs in. As the leaf litter decomposes it generates heat, incubating the eggs. The male Malleefowl checks the soil temperature with his beak and adjusts the mound almost daily to keep the eggs stable. Healthy soil = healthy mounds = healthy chicks! 🐣 Follow us for more fun animal and science facts! 🧪 📍 Monjebup North Reserve, Goreng Noongar C

A local conservation group has been lucky enough to capture footage and observe the workings, mating and calls of the region's malleefowl birds at the Parrakie Wetlands north-east of Kingston South East, as the birds near their treacherous chick season. A 200-metre buffer zone has been established to avoid aerial deer culling their nesting, with fears the helicopter and shooting will disturb them during an important part of their breeding cycle. There are at least 30 nesting mounds in the upper

I am a bit late posting this! The month is wrong on the camera; it was 7th November... Endangered Malleefowl egg #5 for 2025 season! If you watch it all, you will see the egg and then his incredibly delicate egg covering technique. It is quite amazing to watch how carefully he covers the egg up :) | Explore the Mallee
