The Red-headed Softtail Fairy-wren is a very small bird that lives only in central Australia. Males have a bright rufous head, and the tail is long and consists of soft feathers.
The Red-headed Softtail Fairy-wren differs from other softtail fairy-wrens by the bright rufous head of males and its very small body size. It is important for nature because it eats many insects in the arid regions of Australia.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
