 75 PASSERIFORMES: Cisticolidae

Tailorbird

Tailorbirds are small, lively songbirds belonging to the Cisticolidae family, renowned for their remarkable nest-building skills. Named for their sewing-like technique, these birds "stitch" leaves together using plant fibers or spider silk to create secure, camouflaged nests. Found across tropical Asia, tailorbirds are often heard before they're seen, with cheerful, repetitive calls echoing through gardens and forests. With their olive-green plumage, perky tails, and inquisitive nature, these adaptable birds thrive in shrubs and low vegetation, playing a vital role in their ecosystems as insectivores. A true marvel of avian ingenuity! On this page and in this family there are:-
