About These Birds
Black-capped Babbler
The Black-capped Babbler is a secretive, ground-dwelling babbler of lowland rainforests in the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo, with a distinctive black cap contrasting with its olive-brown back and buff underparts. It inhabits dense forest undergrowth, often near streams, feeding on insects, small invertebrates, and fallen seeds on the forest floor.
