Grey-headed Babbler

Stachyris poliocephala

The Grey-headed Babbler (Stachyris poliocephala) is a small, social bird found in the forests and woodlands of Southeast Asia. This species is known for its distinctive grey head, olive-brown upperparts, and pale underparts. It has a short, curved bill and a relatively long tail. Grey-headed Babblers are highly social birds, often found in small flocks, and are known for their melodious and varied calls. They forage for insects and small invertebrates in the understorey and forest floor, using their strong legs and bill to probe and search for food. The species is generally considered to be of least concern in terms of conservation status, with stable populations across its range.
