Where do lyrebirds live and why?

Lyrebirds are found in Australia, and limited to the eastern coastal regions.

• The Superb Lyrebird lives in the south-eastern Australian mainland, from southeast Queensland down to southern Tasmania. Its habitat is moist forests, where it spends most of its time on the ground but roosts in trees at night.
• Albert's lyrebird is found in rainforest and wet open forest, in south-east corner of Queensland and far north-east NSW. In NSW it is found inland to the Border Ranges, and south to the coastal range south west of Ballina.
