They feed on frogs, eels and freshwater crustaceans, and nest on the ground on trampled reeds in dense, wetland areas. As well as Australia, they can be found in New Zealand and New Caledonia. Their population is on the decline, thought to be a result of wetland drainage and degradation. It is an endangered species.
