The Noisy Scrub-bird is a very rare bird only known from one locality in southwestern Australia. It was thought to be extince until one isolated population was found at Two People’s Bay. A few of the birds were relocated to another spot to try to start a second population, but they were destroyed in a wildfire.
The Noisy Scrub-bird shares the family Atrichornithidae with one other species - the Rufous Scrub-bird - which is also rare.
