Babblers Babble......

Yellow-billed Babbler(Turdoides affinis) is  a very common and widely spread bird in Sri Lanka, which roam open vegetation and home gardens in small flocks. These birds are quite tolerant of human  presence. I see them in my garden almost everyday, hopping about the ground in search of food, preening and relaxing,  and mostly chattering nonstop! These are omnivorous birds and would eat just about anything.

Yellow-Billed Babblers(Turdoides affinis) In My Garden

I've videoed some regular visitors in my garden. These are another type of commonly seen birds in Sri Lanka.  They are very fond of food scraps found in gardens. Always moving around in small flocks, these birds mostly spend time on the ground and tree branches close to the ground. I have seen them falling prey to domestic cats and Rat Snakes, but apart from that I don't know what their predators are. Their distinctive chatter that is both loud and rapid allows them to be recognized at  a distance. Learn more..........
