Chestnut-crowned Bush Warbler

Cettia major

The Chestnut-crowned Bush Warbler, known scientifically as Cettia major, is a charming species of warbler that graces the South Asian landscape. This bird is adorned with a distinctive chestnut crown that gives it its common name.

Identification Tips

When attempting to identify this elusive warbler, look for its defining chestnut crown, which is a key feature distinguishing it from other warblers in its habitat.

Habitat

The Chestnut-crowned Bush Warbler is a denizen of the South Asian region, where it frequents the undergrowth, blending seamlessly with its surroundings.

Distribution

This species is known to inhabit various parts of South Asia, where it is a familiar sight to those who know where to look.

Behaviour

Observations of the Chestnut-crowned Bush Warbler reveal a bird that is not rapidly declining in numbers, suggesting a certain resilience in its behavior and adaptability to its environment.

Conservation status

Despite the pressures of habitat destruction, the Chestnut-crowned Bush Warbler is currently evaluated as a species of Least Concern by the IUCN. This status indicates that, while its population trend is decreasing, the decline is not precipitous enough to warrant immediate alarm.

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.

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!

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.

Great app for beginner twitchers
I’ve had a passion of photographing birds for a long time now but have only just gotten into proper birdwatching, and this app is brilliant for those just getting started. There is a great sense of community among users and the app is very easy to use and professional. Awesome app altogether
