About

The Common Iora (<em>Aegithina tiphia</em>) belongs to the family Aegithinidae and is one of the more widespread and familiar ioras across South and Southeast Asia. It inhabits both coastal and forested environments, reflecting notable ecological flexibility within the genus. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available data fields, though the species is moderately well studied. It is assessed as Least Concern, consistent with its broad distribution and apparent adaptability to a range of wooded and semi-open habitats. The species constructs cup-shaped nests, which is typical for Aegithinidae. Clutch size is reported as 2 to 3 eggs per breeding attempt. Specific incubation duration and fledging period are not provided in available data. Dietary composition is presumed to be primarily insectivorous, consistent with family habits. Vocalization details, while known to be varied and musical in this family, are not described in the available source material for this profile.
