An Australian colloquial name for the eastern yellow robin (Eopsaltria australis), a small bird with a bright yellow breast found in forests along the eastern coast of Australia. Australian bird naming often uses affectionate diminutives and color descriptors, and 'yellow bob' fits that tradition perfectly. The bird is distinctive and approachable, often hopping close to bushwalkers.
