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.

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.
