About These Birds
Blackish-breasted Babbler
The Blackish-breasted Babbler is a near-threatened, compact babbler with dark brown upperparts, a blackish-streaked breast, and a rich rusty-buff belly. It inhabits bamboo thickets and dense undergrowth in the hill forests of northeastern India and adjacent Myanmar at elevations between 300 and 1,500 meters. It is poorly known but feeds on insects and seeds in dense vegetation close to the ground.
