Mindanao Pygmy Babbler

Robsonius thompsoni

The Mindanao Pygmy Babbler (Robsonius thompsoni) is a small passerine bird found in the Philippines. It is characterized by its olive-brown plumage, white underparts, and a distinctive white eye-ring. This species is known for its secretive behavior, often foraging on or near the ground in dense undergrowth. It primarily feeds on insects and small invertebrates. The Mindanao Pygmy Babbler inhabits lowland and montane forests, particularly favoring areas with dense vegetation and thick undergrowth. Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, this species faces threats to its population. Efforts are being made to conserve its remaining habitats.

Habitat: Lowland and montane forests with dense undergrowth
