Shrubs are plants which have multiple woody stems growing out of the base. They are usually under six metres tall. Native examples include bush peas, wattles, grevilleas and banksias.
Shrubs as habitat
Shrubs provide nest sites and protection for small animals from predators. They produce flowers containing nectar, seeds and fruit that some species of birds, invertebrates and mammals use for food.
An eastern spinebill bird is a type of honeyeater. It feeds on insects and nectar from flowers such as grevilleas and mountain devils. The long, narrow beak of a spinebill is designed to reach deeply into tubular flowers to obtain nectar.

Shrubland habitats contain thickets of shrubs and young trees mixed with scattered grasses and wildflowers. Large shrublands--those greater than 5 acres--are relatively rare in New Hampshire. Typical plants include dogwood, alder, Viburnum, pincherry, and many other species.
Importance of shrublands and old fields to wildlife
Old-field and shrubland communities provide vegetative structure and diversity that provide vital nesting, brood rearing, feeding, and escape habitats for early-successional wildlife.
The shrublands are made up of shrubs or short trees. Many shrubs thrive on steep, rocky slopes. There is usually not enough rain to support tall trees. Shrublands are usually fairly open so grasses and other short plants grow between the shrubs.
Shrubland ecosystems are home to a variety of animal species, including birds, reptiles, and mammals. Common examples include coyotes, foxes, rabbits, snakes, lizards, and birds such as quail and hawks. Some shrubland ecosystems also have unique species that are found only in that region.
