Black-throated Parrotbill

Suthora nipalensis

The black-throated parrotbill (Suthora nipalensis) is a distinctive bird species, characterized by its parrot-like bill. It is not a babbler as once thought, nor does it belong to the Sylviidae family. Instead, it is a member of the Paradoxornithidae family, a group with its own unique traits.

Identification Tips

This species can be identified by its robust, curved bill, which is reminiscent of a parrot's. It has a black throat that stands out against its otherwise lighter plumage, making it quite recognizable.

Habitat

The black-throated parrotbill is found in subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, where it thrives in the dense foliage.

Distribution

The bird's range extends across the northern Indian subcontinent, primarily within the central and eastern Himalayas. It is also present in parts of Southeast Asia, including Bhutan, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, Tibet, and Vietnam.

Conservation Status

According to the IUCN Red List, the black-throated parrotbill is classified as Least Concern, indicating that it currently faces no imminent threat to its survival.

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! 🐦
