About These Birds
Black Babbler
The Black Babbler is a large, entirely dark babbler of the rainforest understory in West and Central Africa. It has entirely glossy black plumage and forages in small noisy groups on the forest floor and in dense undergrowth, feeding on insects, seeds, and small fruits. It is more often heard than seen.
