Birds aren’t just amazing; they also play a pivotal role in the ecosystems in the world and have numerous benefits.
They participate in the pest control, plant pollination, seed spreading, transformation of landscapes, maintaining coral reefs alive, and more.
We also love birds for being beautiful, singing pleasant melodies, flying, and the amount of positivity they bring in nature.
When talking about birds, we have to mention the rainbow-colored bird known as the white-browed tit-warbler.
This unique bird originates from the boreal forests and high regions of Asia, including the Himalayas, central China, and Russia.
They’re quite small, only 8.5 to 10 cm and their feathers have striking combination of colors, which makes them look like a rainbow.
The Rainbow-Colored Bird
Because of their colorful plumage, these small birds definitely stand out from the other tit species.
Each of them is unique in its own way and they’re definitely very charming. People worldwide love these birds and often observe them, especially in the mating season.
The birds generally live in pairs and often times at the end of a season; they join flocks of 25 or more birds.
According to the IUCN, this species isn’t under threat for extinction for now. It has a stable population, largely because it has no natural predators.
Feral cats would usually be a problem; however, these birds live in quite cold regions and in high altitudes, which is unusual for most cats to explore.
Interestingly, some of these birds learn their songs from the other birds; whereas some are born knowing them.
