Ashy Tailorbird

Orthotomus cinereiceps

The Ashy Tailorbird (Orthotomus cinereiceps) is a small songbird found in Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its ashy-grey plumage, short tail, and distinctive song. This bird is often found in dense undergrowth and thickets, where it forages for insects and small invertebrates. The Ashy Tailorbird is known for its agile and acrobatic movements as it navigates through the foliage in search of food. It builds its nest by sewing leaves together, hence the name 'tailorbird'. While the population size is unknown, the species is not currently considered at risk and is widely distributed across its range.

Habitat: Dense undergrowth and thickets
