Mindanao Pygmy-Babbler

Fairly large wren with a long tail and bill. Prominent white eyebrow contrasts with dark brown crown and paler throat. Rusty above and buff below; the tail and wings are dark barred. Found at the edges of dense forests, second growth, light woodlands, and mangroves where it is usually difficult to see. The song, usually delivered in duet, consists of a loud combination of melodic whistles.

A small, long-tailed green parrot with a dark cheek patch and red in the tail. Males possess a red throat and flanks that are absent in females. Males show violet-blue cheeks that are streaked in females. Juveniles resemble females. Found in groups in forest, edges, plantations, mangroves, and varied wooded areas in lowlands and foothills. Male differs from Red-fronted Lorikeet in showing a red throat and extensive red flanks, and both sexes differ in lacking a red forecrown and showing red in the tail. Separated from Red-chinned Lorikeet by the dark ear patches in both sexes, and red flanks in male. Gives shrill, high-pitched screeches and chattering notes.

A russet-brown babbler with pale eyes and a slightly curved black bill. Endemic to the eastern end of the Tibetan Plateau, where it inhabits areas with scrubby bushes and stunted trees. Generally, not as often seen around habitation as the larger, grayer Giant Babax (no range overlap), but will sometimes be seen taking handouts at monasteries. Forages on the ground, usually in pairs or small flocks.
