Puff-throated babbler

Pellorneum ruficeps

The Puff-throated babbler (Pellorneum ruficeps) is a small, shy bird found in the dense undergrowth of forests and scrublands in South and Southeast Asia. It has a distinctive puff of white feathers on its throat, which contrasts with its rufous-brown plumage. This babbler is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard in the early morning and late afternoon. It forages on the forest floor for insects, small invertebrates, and seeds. The Puff-throated babbler is a secretive and elusive bird, making it a challenge to observe in the wild.
