Western Nicator

Nicator chloris

The Western Nicator, Nicator chloris, presents itself as a charming songbird, a member of the Nicatoridae family. It bears a close resemblance to its cousin, the Eastern Nicator, yet it can be distinguished by the olive green hues adorning the sides of its face and crown.

Identification Tips

To identify the Western Nicator, one should note its olive green face and crown. Its identification is further aided by its distinct vocalizations and geographical range.

Habitat

This bird is a denizen of the subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and swamps. It shows a preference for secondary growth forests that are well-established, thriving at altitudes ranging from 700 to 1,850 meters.

Distribution

The Western Nicator is primarily native to the African tropical rainforest, where it can be found flitting through the dense foliage.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List has classified the Western Nicator as Least Concern, indicating that, for now, this species does not face immediate threats of extinction.

Work together with community
Been loving using this app to log my bird sightings and work together with community members to identify different birds. I've already learned a lot since I started about a month ago!

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??
