Streaked Wren-Babbler

Gypsophila brevicaudata

The streaked wren-babbler, known scientifically as Gypsophila brevicaudata, is a diminutive and elusive bird that graces the undergrowth of forests with its presence. It is a member of the Pellorneidae family, a group of birds often referred to as babblers.

Identification Tips

This species can be identified by its streaked appearance, which provides excellent camouflage amongst the leaf litter of the forest floor. It is a small bird with a rather short tail, which it often holds cocked up.

Habitat

The streaked wren-babbler is a denizen of subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, as well as subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. These habitats provide the dense undergrowth and leaf litter that this bird prefers.

Distribution

The range of this bird is quite extensive within Asia. It can be found in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Behaviour

The streaked wren-babbler is known for its skulking behavior, often remaining hidden in dense vegetation. It is more often heard than seen, as it forages through the underbrush.

Conservation status

According to the IUCN Red List, the streaked wren-babbler is classified as Least Concern. This suggests that, at present, there are no immediate threats to its population levels that would warrant a higher level of concern.

Awesome Birding Community
I absolutely love the community aspect of this app. The app is so user friendly and has fun interactive challenges to get you out birding. I’ve tried others but since I’ve started using Birda I’ve not gone back!

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!

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.

Very Wholesome App
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 😄

We've been waiting for an App like this
Excellent! We've been waiting for an app like this! Thank you! It would be nice if you could assign additional birds to sessions later!

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.
