Issue Notice:


The White-throated Babbler belongs to the Leiothrichidae family.
It can be seen as common resident in Mandalay, Sagaing, Magway, Bago, Yangon, Kachin (Souther Part) and Ayeyawady (northern Part) in Myanmar.
They are gregarious birds that forage in small groups. Because they are mostly seen in groups of six or seven, they are figuratively called "Seven-sister birds".
They raise and flap their tail and hopp around looking for food. Male and female are same colour.
Their size is relatively large and very long-tailed with black lores, pale eyes and white throat, upper breast contrasting with rufous-buff remainder of underparts.
The lower body part is brownish red and light yellow. The white colour on the neck and upper breast is the prominent feature of the species.
Scrub and bushes in semi-desert, borders of cultivation are their habitats.
