Yellow-browed Tit

Sylviparus modestus

The Yellow-browed Tit, scientifically known as Sylviparus modestus, is a diminutive avian member of the Paridae family. This bird is the sole representative of the monotypic genus Sylviparus, a testament to its unique evolutionary lineage.

Identification Tips

Upon encountering the Yellow-browed Tit, one is struck by its understated yet distinctive plumage. The bird's name is derived from the yellowish streak above its eye, a feature that provides a subtle contrast to its otherwise greenish upperparts and paler underparts.

Habitat

The Yellow-browed Tit is a denizen of the forest, favoring the lush subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, as well as the cooler climes of subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

Distribution

This species graces the southern reaches of the Himalayas, flitting through the forests of Northeast India and southern China. Its presence is also noted, albeit in smaller numbers, in the verdant landscapes of Southeast Asia.

Behaviour

Observations of the Yellow-browed Tit reveal a bird that is as modest in demeanor as it is in coloration. It goes about its daily routines with a gentle diligence, embodying the serene spirit of the forests it calls home.

Conservation status

Bird enthusiasts and conservationists alike will be heartened to know that the Yellow-browed Tit is currently classified as Least Concern by the IUCN. This status reflects a stable population, free from immediate threats of significant decline.

Great bird recording
For a while I’ve been trying to find an app to easily record bird lists and day out and struggled to find one that I like. Birda is great for this, straightforward and a great community!

Fun way to add to your birdwatching experience
I enjoy watching birds in my backyard, but this app helped me really pay attention while on vacation this summer. It was fun to add new birds to my bird watching app.

Such a great app!
I didn’t think I could enjoy birding more but this app makes it so much better. Some great features and a really great way to share your sightings with your friends or fellow birders nearby or around the world! ❤️

Terrific App for Birders
Downloaded Birda around the time my interest in birding was sparked, and it has been a terrific app to help me (1) share my experience, (2) document my sightings, and (3) learn more about birds in general. That said, I also believe Birda is a fantastic app for birders of all experience levels. Great community!

A Friendly Place
I love using the bird app, I have a pretty good knowledge of birds. But I do have some gaps in it, so it’s nice to have a safe space to check on a sighting to confirm the species. It’s really enjoyable and I love the badges you can collect. It’s like a real life Pokémon go.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??

Birding and wellbeing app
Birda is an excellent platform to share your love of Birding and is a great tool of encouragement for a Birding Beginner like me. Birda has a very kind and supportive community of Birding enthusiasts. For me BIRDA is not only a BIRDING but also a WELLBEING App.

Really great app
It’s easy to use and it’s fun to log the birds you notice on a walk or just in your garden. There’s a option to record the birds you see in a session which is really nice. Good excuse to stop for a while and just watch birds. I am also enjoying the information part where you can find out fact about birds from all over the world.

Great app
I use this app all the time as it’s quick and easy to log individual sightings or whole birding sessions. It’s an excellent way to meet new people and the forum is full of really friendly people. The challenges are a great way to get involved and learn more about birds. Cannot recommend it enough!
