An alternative or informal spelling of 'bilby,' a small marsupial animal from Australia.
Variant spelling of 'bilby,' which comes from Australian Aboriginal language (Nyungar 'bulba'). The 'i' ending reflects how the Aboriginal word was adapted into English spelling.
The bilby is slowly replacing the Easter Bunny in Australian Easter celebrations—an effort to promote native wildlife and move away from introducing rabbits, which have become an ecological disaster in Australia.
