Ilbandornis was a genus of ostrich-sized dromornithid. It was far more lightly built than other members of the family, indicating a more cursorial lifestyle. The majority of researchers consider Dromornithids to be herbivorous; this is borne out by molecular analysis of the gastroliths and eggshells of both Ilbandornis and the related Genyornis. While Ilbandornis and Genyornis have skulls of similar size to emus, other Dromornithids such as Bullockornis and Dromornis have far more robust skulls with large beaks; these were previously considered an adaptation for carnivory, but their blunt edges and lack of hooked tip indicate that the species were herbivorous. It is therefore likely that the differences in skull shape are due to differences in diet.

| - Ilbandornis es un género extinto de ave del tamaño de un avestruz, con patas más delgadas que las de otros dromornítidos. El pico de gran tamaño de otros géneros como Bullockornis y Dromornis indican que eran criaturas posiblemente carnívoras, mientras que los análisis de la molleja y los aminoácidos de los huevos de Genyornis indican que Ilbandornis era herbívoro. Por lo tanto, su dieta es materia de debate. Las dos especies del género fueron halladas en la misma localidad en el Territorio del Norte en Alcoota, y datan de finales del Mioceno. (es)
- Ilbandornis is een uitgestorven niet-vliegende vogel uit Australië. Dit dier behoort tot de familie Dromornithidae (dondervogels) uit de orde van de eendachtigen. Er zijn twee soorten, I.lawsoni en I. woodburnei. Ilbandornis had de bouw van een hedendaagse struisvogel met slankere poten dan de overige dondervogels. Fossielen dateren uit het Laat-Mioceen en zijn gevonden bij Alcoota Station in het Northern Territory, een gebied dat in deze periode bedekt was met open bossen. (nl)
- Ilbandornis — викопний птах родини Дроморнісові (Dromornithidae). Птах існував у міоцені в Австралії. Скам'янілі рештки знайдені у Північній Австралії у відкладеннях формування Алькута. Птах мав тонші ноги ніж у інших дроморнісових і нагадував страуса. Він мав великий дзьоб і був травоїдним. (uk)

It is therefore likely that the differences in skull shape are due to differences in diet. There are currently two species included in the genus, Ilbandornis lawsoni and Ilbandornis woodburnei. Both are known from the Alcoota Fossil Beds in the Northern Territory, from sediments dating to the Late Miocene.The local fauna at the alcoota site includes another dromornithid species, the gigantic Dromornis stirtoni.
