The Bush Stone-curlew, or Bush Thick-knee, is a large, slim, mainly nocturnal, ground-dwelling bird, found throughout grasslands, heathlands, and the bush and are sometimes found in cemeteries, parklands and golf courses.

Bush Stone-curlews have a wide-ranging diet, but prefer to feed on insects, mollusks, small lizards, seeds and occasionally small mammals. Feeding takes place at night. During the breeding season, nesting birds will search for food in the vicinity of the nest site, while at other times, birds may travel large distances. All food is taken from the ground.

They can stand incredibly still and blend in so well, almost appearing to have an invisibility cloak!

Several visitors walked past this bird and failed to see it, even though the bird was standing in the early morning sunlight only some 3 to 4 metres from the path in the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens in Brisbane.
