Jungle babbler

The jungle babbler (Argya striata), commonly called the "seven sisters" bird, is a gregarious, medium-sized bird native to the Indian subcontinent. Known for its social behavior, the jungle babbler is usually seen in noisy groups of six to ten birds, often foraging together on the ground.

It has brownish-grey plumage, a slightly long tail, and a stout, slightly curved beak. The eyes are pale yellow, giving it a distinctive look. Jungle babblers are highly social and often communicate through a variety of calls, creating quite a ruckus. They forage in groups, hopping on the ground in search of insects, grains, and small fruits. These birds are commonly found in forests, gardens, and urban parks across India and parts of Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. They build nests in shrubs or trees, and interestingly, the group may exhibit cooperative breeding, where several individuals help care for the young. The jungle babbler's sociable and noisy nature has made it a recognizable bird in its native range, especially in the mornings and evenings when their chattering is most prominent.
