Tickell's babbler

Pellorneum tickelli

Tickell's babbler (Pellorneum tickelli) is a small, secretive bird found in the dense undergrowth of tropical and subtropical forests in Southeast Asia. It has a distinctive olive-brown plumage with a white throat and chest, and its long tail and rounded wings make it well-adapted for navigating through the thick vegetation. This species is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard at dawn and dusk. Tickell's babblers forage on the forest floor, feeding on insects, small invertebrates, and occasionally seeds. They are typically found in pairs or small groups and are known for their shy and elusive nature.
