White-headed Mousebird

Colius leucocephalus

The White-headed Mousebird (Colius leucocephalus) is a small, arboreal bird found in the woodlands and savannas of eastern Africa. This species is known for its distinctive appearance, with a white head, gray body, and long tail. White-headed Mousebirds are social birds, often seen in small flocks as they forage for fruits, seeds, and insects in the treetops. They build cup-shaped nests in trees and shrubs, where they lay their eggs. This species plays a role in seed dispersal and contributes to the ecological balance of its habitat.
