The fire-tailed myzornis (Myzornis pyrrhoura) is a species of bird. Its genus Myzornis is monotypic, and has recently been placed in the family Paradoxornithidae.[2]
Description
[edit]The fire-tailed myzornis is a small species of warbler, 11 to 13 cm (4.3–5.1 in) long and weighing 10–13 g (0.35–0.46 oz). It has bright green plumage with a black mask around the eyes and black scalloping on the crown. The wing is black and white with a streak of bright red and the sides of the tail are red too. The bill is long, slightly curved and black.[3]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]The species is found in Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, and Nepal. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is a common species in the upper ridges of the Sikkim and Arunachal Himalayas; mostly between 9,000 ft and 13,000 ft according to climatic conditions and seasonal variation. It prefers bamboo thickets, Rhododendron shrubs, birches, and junipers.[1] There is some seasonal movement, the bird descending to lower altitudes in autumn.[3]
Ecology
[edit]The fire-tailed myzornis feeds on insects, spiders and small arthropods, as well as consuming fruit, nectar and sap from trees. In India and Nepal the breeding season is April to June, but the season may be longer in Bhutan, as juveniles have been observed in mid-September.[3]
