The Grey-hooded Parrotbill is a medium-sized parrotbill found across a wide range in Asia. It is characterized by its plain grey head and often noisy behavior.
Where to spot
Widespread from the Himalayas (Nepal, Bhutan, northeast India) through Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and much of southern and central China. Inhabits various forest types, bamboo, and scrub.
How to spot
Look for its plain grey head and stout, pale bill. They are often found in mixed-species flocks, moving through dense undergrowth or mid-canopy. Listen for their distinctive, often nasal or chattering calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round throughout its range. Active during the day. Often easier to locate by sound than sight.
