Best Answer

Bellbirds are native to Australia. They are not introduced.

There are two species of bellbirds native to Australia.

Bell Miners (Scientific name Manorina melanohrys) are native to eastern and south-eastern Australia. They are not considered true bellbirds.

The Crested Bellbird, also known as the Crested thrush (Scientific name Oreoica gutturalis), is found almost throughout mainland Australia, except for where the Bell miner is found. It is found west of the Great Dividing Range, through the semi-arid and arid interior to the western coast. It is not found in the far north.
There is also one species of bellbird in New Zealand (Anthornis melanura), which is also known by its Māori names Korimako or Makomako. It is found throughout both the North and South Islands.
