Dry land is habitat defined due to lack of water and is home for birds including many threatened and rare species.

Drylands have important biodiversity, natural, physical, cultural and recreational values. Drylands might be used for carbon sequestration (carbon capture and storage), as well as soil and water conservation. Previously drylands were used for pasture but more recently for cropping, viticulture, horticulture, dairying, forestry, and lifestyle blocks.

Birds who habitat in dry land, forest, bushes and having no signs of water in near vicinity are referred to as DRY LAND BIRDS. However, few of them are spotted preying in water. They feed on seed, nectar from flowers, insects, small reptiles, snakes and many other vertebrates and invertebrates.
