The Tasmanian Native Hen is found only on the island of Tasmania, Australia, where it is very common. It is usually seen grazing in open grassy areas and will run to cover immediately if disturbed. This flightless bird is found primarily in the northern and eastern portions of the island. A management program by the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service has seen the bird introduced to Maria Island National Park, off Tasmania's east coast. This home page will be continually updated with news, facts and information on this fascinating polyandrous bird.
