Common Tailorbird
The Common Tailorbird (Orthotomus sutorius) is a songbird found across tropical Asia. Popular for its nest made of leaves "sewn" together and immortalized by Rudyard Kipling in his Jungle Book, it is a common resident in urban gardens.
The song is a loud cheeup-cheeup-cheeup with variations across the populations. The disyllabic calls are repeated often.
