It has been reported growing in sand-heath, open mallee, and in a low mixed shrubland of Allocasuarina humilis (Dwarf Sheoak), Isopogon trilobus (Three-lobed Conebush) and Melaleuca pulchella (Clawflower) over sedges.

Albany thickets

Finally the shrubland in mountain valleys to the northwest consists of predominantly the succulent (Portulacaria afra) along with Jade plant (Crassula ovata), the boxthorn (Lycium austrinum), Jacketplum (Pappea capensis), Euclea undulata, Rhigozum obovatum, Aloes and Schotia afra.

Changtang Nature Reserve

The vegetation is open shrubland and grasslands mainly dominated by Stipa grasses and Kobresia species ("bog sedges").

Chatham Raven

It may also have depended on fruit, like the New Caledonian Crow (C. moneduloides), but it is difficult to understand why a fruit eater would have been most common in coastal forest and shrubland when fruit was distributed throughout the forest.

Chenôve

The plateau extends over 240 hectares with a great landscape diversity - alternating valleys, forests of Austrian pines, oak, ash, shrubland, and vast flat plains peppered with groves.

Cyclamen rhodium

Madura Station

The land is mostly gently undulating calcareous plains with eucalyptmelaleucamyall woodlands and chenopod shrubland interspersed with saltbush shrubland and bindii grassland.

Neds Corner Station

Much of the rest of the property consists of flat alluvial plains with mallee woodlands, chenopod shrublands, semi-arid grasslands and ephemeral lignum wetlands.

New Zealand Raven

It may also have depended on fruit, like the New Caledonian Crow Corvus moneduloides, but it is difficult to understand why a fruit eater would have been most common in coastal forest and shrubland when fruit was distributed throughout the forest.
