Elected representatives in government are in charge of the policy and funding that can make or break saving threatened species. Their decisions and actions matter.
Bean has or used to have 43 threatened animals within its boundaries. One of them is me, the Norfolk Island Robin.
We took care to attach appropriate images that are as close to representative of each species as our resources and the availability of images allowed. However, we could not ensure perfect accuracy in every case. Some images show species that share the same genus but not at the species or subspecies level.

The Scarlet Robin is a sexually dimorphic species, with males being bright and conspicuous, and females duller. At the species level, male Scarlet Robins are black above with a large white forehead-patch, a bold white mark on each wing, white edges to the tail, black upperbreast and white underparts. Adult male Scarlet Robins have a bright scarlet to orange-red breast/chest. In contrast, females have a pink or reddish wash to the breast, large dull whitish forehead patch, buff-white wing marks, and a white edged tail. Immatures resemble females but lack the reddish wash to the breast.¹
