About These Birds
Black-headed Parrotbill
The Black-headed Parrotbill is a vulnerable, small and delicate parrotbill with a black cap, white underparts, and a stout orange bill suited for manipulating seeds and insects. It is known from very few localities in southern Vietnam and possibly adjacent Laos, inhabiting bamboo thickets and tall grass within or adjacent to forest. It feeds by creeping through dense stems gleaning insects and seeds.
Beijing Hill-warbler
The Beijing Hill-warbler is a small, skulking warbler of dense dry scrub and stony hillsides in northern China and the Mongolian border region. It has streaked brown plumage and a pale supercilium, and its song is the easiest way to detect this secretive species. It feeds on insects and small seeds in thickets and low shrubs.
