November 14, 2025 - Huet's Fulvetta (Alcippe hueti) Found in southeast China, these fulvettas live in hill and mountain forests, scrub, and bamboo. Though the details of their diet are not known, they are thought to eat small insects, seeds, and fruit, like their close relatives, often foraging in small groups with other species. Only three of their nests have been described, all cup-shaped and constructed from bamboo and other leaves, pine needles, and spiderwebs in low bushes.

April 7, 2025 - Spectacled Fulvetta (Fulvetta ruficapilla) These birds in the parrotbill family are found in forests in parts of central and southern China. They eat invertebrates and seeds, foraging alone, in pairs, or in flocks. Breeding from March to June, they build cup-shaped nests in dense shrubs. Females lay clutches of two or three eggs. Both parents incubate the eggs and care for the chicks.
