Abbott's Babbler (Malacocincla abbotti). A babbler that can be found at green lungs in the city. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia #birds #nature #wildlife
Common Tailorbird (Orthotomus sutorius). The extension of the central rectrices (elongated central tail feathers) show that it is a male. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia #birds #nature #wildlife @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social

Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus). Not easy to separate from domestic chickens but white ear patch/wattle helps. Plumage on these birds is under-appreciated.
