Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The slender-billed scimitar babbler, belonging to the Old World babbler family, is distributed from the Himalayas to north-western Vietnam, favoring subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. Formerly classified in the monotypic genus Xiphirhynchus, it is distinguished by its drab brown plumage, darkish grey head, and remarkably long, slender, and decurved bill. This species is commonly found in bamboo thickets, damp broadleaf forests, stunted oak forests, and dense undergrowth habitats, ranging from 600 m to 3500 m. Its diet consists of beetles, ants, larvae, berries, and nectar, and it forages in small, restless, and noisy groups, often in association with other babblers. Breeding occurs from April to July in India, with nests constructed from various plant materials placed on the ground, among grass, or in bushes. The species is characterized by its unique bill shape resembling a curved sword, orange-brown plumage, grey head, and distinctive white eyebrow. It is typically observed moving through forest floors in large, noisy flocks. This bird was photographed at Lepchajagat, West Bengal, India
