As well as spending time in parks and gardens, this birds natural habitat is woodland and grasslands. In the Maluridae family there are roughly 30 species divided into six genera; the fairy wrens, grass wrens and emu-wrens. Most of the fairy wren birds are in high numbers, but there are some species that are endangered, like the purple-crowned fairywren. This species lives near rivers with dense vegetation. This type of habitat is especially vulnerable for change.
