The Streak-breasted Scimitar-babbler is a medium-sized babbler characterized by its streaked breast and a prominent, curved bill. It's a secretive bird that often forages in dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Found in mainland Southeast Asia, including parts of Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and southern China. It inhabits evergreen and mixed deciduous forests, preferring dense undergrowth, bamboo, and often rocky areas.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic loud, whistled calls, often a repeated 'hoo-hoo-hoo' or 'po-po-po'. Look for its curved bill and streaked breast as it forages low in dense vegetation or on the ground.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most vocal during the breeding season. Best observed during early morning or late afternoon when actively foraging.

The unique pattern of streaks on its breast provides effective camouflage, helping it blend into the dappled light of its preferred dense forest habitat.
