About These Birds

Black-headed Tailorbird

The Black-headed Tailorbird is a small, active warbler with a distinctive black crown, olive-green upperparts, and pale underparts, distinguished from most tailorbirds by its striking dark head. It is endemic to the Philippines, inhabiting the undergrowth and edges of lowland and foothill forests on several islands. Like other tailorbirds, it stitches large leaves together with plant fibers to create a cup-shaped nest.

Annam Prinia

The Annam Prinia is a small warbler-like bird in the Cisticolidae family, weighing around 15 grams. Found in the Annam region, this passerine inhabits dense scrub and grassland edges. Its compact size and secretive habits make it a challenging bird to observe in the field.
