Australian bird habitats:
Farmland with scattered trees

Description of habitat

Since the start of white settlement, a large part of the Australian continent has been shaped by human activity. In many areas where there used to be contiguous forest or woodland, there are now buildings, such as e.g. farms, with only a remnant of the former vegetation. Scattered trees around buildings, such as farms, provide habitats for a wide variety of birds.

Some more related information is available about commercial crops, fallow fields, paddocks and pasture.
