Overview
The short-tailed grasswren (Amytornis merrotsyi) is a small passerine bird in the family Maluridae, commonly known as the Australasian wrens. It is endemic to Australia, where it has a highly restricted distribution in the arid interior of South Australia, particularly the Flinders and Gawler Ranges.
This species inhabits rocky hillsides and ranges dominated by spinifex (Triodia) grasses, typically within temperate shrubland and semi-arid environments. It is strongly associated with stony terrain and dense ground vegetation, which provide both shelter and foraging opportunities.
