The gibberbird (Ashbyia lovensis) is a species of chat within the Meliphagidae family of passerine birds.
==Taxonomy== This species, also formerly known as the desert chat, is endemic to Australia and the only species within the genus Ashbyia. This genus was named after the South Australian ornithologist Edwin Ashby.[3] The specific epithet lovensis honours the Irish missionary Reverend James Love (1889–1947). The gibberbird, along with the four chats of the genus Epithianura, have sometimes been placed in a separate family, Epthianuridae (the Australian chats), but are now thought to be aberrant honeyeaters in the family Meliphagidae.
