Chirinda Apalis

Apalis chirindensis

The Chirinda apalis, scientifically known as Apalis chirindensis, is a small, elusive bird that graces the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe and Mozambique with its presence. This species is a member of the Cisticolidae family, known for their energetic flitting through the undergrowth.

Habitat

The Chirinda apalis is a bird of the forests, favoring the lush subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest as well as the cooler, misty realms of subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. These habitats provide the dense foliage and rich insect life that the Chirinda apalis relies upon.

Distribution

This bird is endemic to a specific region, being found only in the Eastern Highlands that straddle Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Its presence is a testament to the unique ecological conditions of this montane forest-grassland mosaic.

Conservation Status

My favourite app
As a young birdwatcher who was always keen to be apart of a community but never seemed to find one, my problem was solved downloading this!!! Everyone is so friendly and just as excited to see birds as me 😁

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great 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.

Learning Birding with Birda
I’m relatively new to birding as a hobby, and Birda is a great way to keep track off all the species I see. I’m still working on my ID skills, but the app is great for figuring out potential species, and the online community is so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend Birda to both early and serious birders! 🐦
