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.

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!

This is a really lovely app, for everyone interested in birds - from newbies to old hands. There is a very friendly feel to the community and you will genuinely learn a lot as you record your sightings and photos. There are lots of badges and competitions to keep you engaged, and a host of really useful features.

Recommend for any bird watcher
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 😃

Sense of Community
A great app, which is continually being improved. What really comes through is the passion of those behind the app. The sense of community is brilliant, so much help and support provided to new and/or in experienced birders.

A Friendly Place
I love using the bird app, I have a pretty good knowledge of birds. But I do have some gaps in it, so it’s nice to have a safe space to check on a sighting to confirm the species. It’s really enjoyable and I love the badges you can collect. It’s like a real life Pokémon go.
