The Mountain Tailorbird is a small, colorful bird with an olive-green back, a rufous crown, and bright yellow underparts. It is known for its distinctive nest-building technique.
Where to spot
Inhabits broadleaf evergreen forests, often in hilly or mountainous terrain, across parts of South and Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Look for its bright colors and listen for its loud, distinctive song, often described as a repetitive 'which-which-which.' Watch for its active foraging low in the vegetation.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range. Most vocal during the breeding season (spring/summer), when its song is frequently heard.

This species earned its name 'tailorbird' because it literally 'sews' leaves together to create a secure and camouflaged nest for its eggs and young.
