Jungle Babblers are very noisy birds found all over India, including cities, suburbs, towns and villages! Belonging to the Babbler family, these birds make harsh kee-kee-kee sounds in such a manner that their group can be recognized from far away. Almost dust brown in color, they have a dull yellow bill with black in yellow eyes. Jungle Babblers are generally very social and can be seen foraging in groups of 6-8 and even 10. This has given them several colloquial names such as saath behen, saath bhai, etc meaning ââ¬Ëseven siblingsââ¬â¢! Ironically, the range of Jungle Babblers is even greater than Common Babblers with the former found even in eastern India. Several races of the Jungle Babblers are recognized with slight variations in colors.
