Collared Finch-Billed Bulbul

The collared finchbill (Spizixos semitorques) is a species of songbird in the Pycnonotidae family. It is found in China, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

 

The species favors hilled forests at moderate elevations. Primarily a frugivore, the collared finchbill also eats seeds and insects. The birds are typically monogamous, with females building nests in trees in which to lay their eggs. This songbird is slightly smaller than an American robin, with an olive-green body, thick ivory bill, dark gray head with white streaks on the cheeks, and a white collar between the breast and throat.
