Ashy-breasted Malkoha

Phapitreron cinereiceps

The Ashy-breasted Malkoha is a medium-sized bird found in the Philippines. It has a distinctive ashy-gray plumage on the breast and belly, with a greenish back and wings. This bird is known for its loud and repetitive calls, often heard in the dense forests where it resides. It primarily feeds on insects, small vertebrates, and fruits. The Ashy-breasted Malkoha plays a role in the ecosystem by contributing to seed dispersal. However, habitat loss and deforestation pose significant threats to its population.
