The Malaysian Striped Babbler is a small, active babbler distinguished by its striped crown and throat. It is a shy but vocal species, often found in dense undergrowth of lowland and montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra, Indonesia. It inhabits lowland and submontane evergreen forests, preferring dense undergrowth and bamboo.
How to spot
Listen for its distinct, often rapid, chattering calls. Look for its striped crown and throat if you get a good view; otherwise, rely on its calls and general skulking behavior in dense vegetation.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Can be challenging to see due to its skulking nature.
