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

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! ❤️

Simply fantastic
I love this app, it puts so much fun into recording the birds I’ve seen and heard while I’m out and about. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for all ages. It’s great to collect badges and to review my “lists”.

Friendly and helps to identify birds
Great birding app, good for logging your sightings, also has nice species guide. I'm enjoying the social aspect more than I expected, everyone seems friendly and helps to identify unknown birds. Good mix of newbies and experienced users.

Very wholesome app: I joined this app with a new interest in watching birds to help me find out what I was spotting. The community is very active in helping identify birds which is great and everyone is very kind so it’s just a nice wholesome community. I would definitely recommend this for any bird spotter 😃

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.

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??
