The jungle babbler is a drab brownish-grey babbler with a yellow bill, and the sexes look alike. It is gregarious, living in flocks of about seven to ten, and groups mob predators such as snakes. It lives in forest, cultivation and city gardens and eats mainly insects, plus grains, nectar and berries (Wikipedia, general species account).
It breeds all year, with peaks in March to April and July to September in northern India, building nests halfway up trees and laying usually three or four greenish-blue eggs. It occurs across the Indian subcontinent including Bhutan, Pakistan and Nepal, where the source shows one photographed at Koshi Tappu. It was described in 1823 from Bengal and has five subspecies (Wikipedia, general species account).
