"Bellbird and Bellbird Heights."
Location and boundaries
Bellbird and Bellbird Heights is bounded by the locality of Mount View in the north and west, the locality of Cessnock in the east, and the Aberdare State Forest, the locality of Pelton and Bimbadeen Road in the south.
Name origin
Bellbird and Bellbird Heights are thought to be named after a colony of bellbirds which produced so great a volume of sound that bullockies could not hear their bullock bells.

Most growth occurred in the first half of the 1900s. The population has increased slightly since the early 1990s, a result of new dwellings being added to the area.
