Green-backed Tit

Prionochilus thoracicus

The Green-backed Tit (Prionochilus thoracicus) is a small songbird found in the forests and woodlands of Southeast Asia. It is known for its striking green back and yellow underparts, with a distinctive black stripe running through its eye. These agile birds are often seen foraging for insects and small fruits in the canopy, and their high-pitched calls can be heard throughout the day. Green-backed Tits are known for their acrobatic flight and social behavior, often forming small flocks as they move through the trees. They are important contributors to the ecosystem, playing a role in insect control and seed dispersal.
