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.

What Our Birders Say

Clean and easy to use
Really enjoying this app, it's clean and easy to use. I love the ease of being able to add those one-off birds without starting a whole checklist. I also like the social aspect, like the parts of my Facebook I like, without the ads and junk, just birds. Can't wait to see it become more populated.

Great bird recording
For a while I’ve been trying to find an app to easily record bird lists and day out and struggled to find one that I like. Birda is great for this, straightforward and a great community!

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! 🐦

Great app for learning Birds
I’ve been using the app for a couple of months and love it....Someone said it’s like a real life Pokémon Go for birds. They’re not far off! It’s something that the family can do that gets you out and about. Well worth downloading no matter your age.

Great app
I use this app all the time as it’s quick and easy to log individual sightings or whole birding sessions. It’s an excellent way to meet new people and the forum is full of really friendly people. The challenges are a great way to get involved and learn more about birds. Cannot recommend it enough!

The best bird logging app
Birda is honestly the best bird logging app I have seen. I love all the features it has from being able to do a session and log all the birds you see in one sitting, to being able to connect with other birders from all over the globe!

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! ❤️
