Spotted catbirds are a highly specialized rainforest species and in the Australian wet tropics they prefer to nest in well vegetated areas with steep creek slopes and also in forests with Calamus tangles and will nest in the same location year after year. [9] [10] They have a home range of 1-2 hectares and forage about 68 m from their nests. [9]
