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.
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.
