Cettia Bush Warblers & Allies

The Cettiidae family, often referred to as cettiid warblers, is a group of small, primarily insect-eating songbirds that used to be lumped with a diverse set of "Old World warblers." The family, recognized in 2006, is primarily distributed across Asia and extends into Oceania and Europe, with only Neumann's warbler found in Africa. These birds, which include the genera Cettia, Horornis, Urosphena, Tesia, and others, inhabit forests and scrublands where they actively forage through dense foliage. Most cettiid warblers exhibit dull plumage and have moderate to long tails, except the stubtails and tesias, which feature very short tails. While the majority of the species are non-migratory, a few, such as the Asian stubtail, do migrate, and some others, like the Cetti's warbler, exhibit partial migratory behavior. There are 31 recognized species within the family Cettiidae, which is considered by some taxonomists to be a part of the larger Scotocercidae family, and they are often grouped with their relatives in field guides for ease of identification.

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.

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.

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”.

Fun way to add to your birdwatching experience
I enjoy watching birds in my backyard, but this app helped me really pay attention while on vacation this summer. It was fun to add new birds to my bird watching app.

Terrific App for Birders
Downloaded Birda around the time my interest in birding was sparked, and it has been a terrific app to help me (1) share my experience, (2) document my sightings, and (3) learn more about birds in general. That said, I also believe Birda is a fantastic app for birders of all experience levels. Great community!
