Alcippe (bird)
''Alcippe'' is a genus of passerine birds in the monotypic family Alcippeidae. The genus once included many other fulvettas and was previously placed in families Pellorneidae or Timaliidae. Taxonomy The genus ''Alcippe'' previously included many of the fulvettas, but recent taxonomy has seen the group progressively redefined. The ''Fulvetta'' fulvettas are now placed in family Paradoxornithidae, the bush blackcap in the genus '' Sylvia'' in the family Sylviidae, and, in the most recent revision, a group of seven species were transferred to the new genus '' Schoeniparus'' in family Pellorneidae. With the rearrangement of the species there are now birds with the common name "fulvetta" in three families: in the genera ''Lioparus'' and ''Fulvetta'' in Paradoxornithidae, '' Schoeniparus'' in Pellorneidae, and ''Alcippe'' in Alcippeidae. The family Alcippeidae is sister to the family Leiothrichidae containing the laughingthrushes. The genus contains the following ten species: ...

Mountain Fulvetta
The mountain fulvetta (''Alcippe peracensis'') is a 14 to 15.5 cm long species of bird in the Alcippeidae family. It is found in Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam in subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The black-browed fulvetta, ''Alcippe grotei'', is sometimes considered to be conspecific with mountain fulvetta, but the two forms differ in morphology and vocalisations, and are separated altitudinally. Black-browed fulvetta occurs primarily below 400 m, and mountain fulvetta above 900 m. Both have a warm brown back and tail, whitish underparts, a grey face and a slate grey crown bordered below with a black line, but black-browed has brown flanks and a weaker white eyering. Mountain has a ''yi-yuii-uwee-uwee'' song, whereas black-browed's is ''yu-chi-chiwi-chuwoo, yu-uwit-ii-uwoo''. References *Collar, N. J. & Robson C. 2007.

Pycnonotidae
The bulbuls are members of a family, Pycnonotidae, of medium-sized passerine songbirds, which also includes greenbuls, brownbuls, leafloves, and bristlebills. The family is distributed across most of Africa and into the Middle East, tropical Asia to Indonesia, and north as far as Japan. A few insular species occur on the tropical islands of the Indian Ocean. There are 160 species in 32 genera. While different species are found in a wide range of habitats, the African species are predominantly found in rainforest, whereas Asian bulbuls are predominantly found in more open areas. Taxonomy The family Pycnonotidae was introduced by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1840 as a subfamily Pycnonotinae of the thrush family Turdidae. The Arabic word ''bulbul'' (بلبل) is sometimes used to refer to the "nightingale" as well as the bulbul, but the English word ''bulbul'' refers to the birds discussed in this article.

Grey-cheeked Fulvetta
The grey-cheeked fulvetta or Morrison's fulvetta (''Alcippe morrisonia'') is a bird in the family Alcippeidae. The species was first described by Robert Swinhoe in 1863. The grey-cheeked fulvetta is part of a species complex and the nominate ''morrisonia'' is now restricted to endemic Taiwan birds, with the David's fulvetta (''Alcippe davidi''), Huet's fulvetta (''Alcippe hueti'') and Yunnan fulvetta (''Alcippe fratercula'') now recognised as a separate species. Distribution It is a year-round resident throughout Taiwan. It is found in evergreen mountain forests. Characteristics This 15-cm long bird has a grey head with a white eye ring and a long black eye stripe running from the bill down the sides of the neck. The upperparts are olive and the underparts are yellow. Its call is a weak ''chi-chi-chu-chui''. It will readily join mixed-species feeding flocks. Notes References *Collar, N. J. & Robson C. 2007.

Black-browed Fulvetta
The black-browed fulvetta (''Alcippe grotei'') is a 15.5 to 16.5 cm long species of passerine bird in the family Alcippeidae. It is found in subtropical or tropical moist montane evergreen forests, adjacent secondary growth and bamboo in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. It is often considered conspecific with the mountain fulvetta, ''Alcippe peracensis'', but the two forms differ in morphology and vocalisations, and are separated altitudinally. Black-browed fulvetta occurs primarily below 400 m, and mountain fulvetta above 900 m. Both have a warm brown back and tail, whitish underparts, a grey face and a slate grey crown edged below with a black line. Black-browed has brown flanks and a weaker white eyering; it has been described as a bit like a cross between mountain and grey-cheeked fulvetta. The black-browed has a song ''yu-chi-chiwi-chuwoo, yu-uwit-ii-uwoo'', whereas the mountain is ''yi-yuii-uwee-uwee''. References *Collar, N. J. & Robson C. 2007. Family Timali ...

Javan Fulvetta - Chibodas Gardens - West Java MG 4590 (30117376492)
Javan () was the fourth son of Noah's son Japheth according to the " Generations of Noah" (Book of Genesis, chapter 10) in the Hebrew Bible. Josephus states the traditional belief that this individual was the ancestor of the Greeks. Also serving as the Hebrew name for Greece or Greeks in general, יָוָן ''Yavan'' or ''Yāwān'' has long been considered cognate with the name of the eastern Greeks, the Ionians (Greek Ἴωνες ''Iōnes'', Homeric Greek Ἰάονες ''Iáones''; Mycenaean Greek *Ιαϝονες ''Iawones''). Giving that all Torah scrolls are strictly un punctuated reading the word יון can give ''Yon'', given as the letter Vaw may just as equally function as consonant (read "v") or vowel (read "o" or " ʊ"). The Greek race has been known by cognate names throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, Near East and beyond: see Sanskrit '' Yona'' & Sanskrit ( ''yavana'') or the proto- Aryan languages from which Sanskrit probably originated.

Brown-cheeked Fulvetta
The brown-cheeked fulvetta (''Alcippe poioicephala'') or brown-cheeked alcippe as the fulvettas proper are not closely related to this species,) is included in the family Alcippeidae. It was earlier also known as the quaker babbler. This species is one of those retained in the genus ''Alcippe'' after the true fulvettas and some others were removed; the group had turned out to contain quite unrelated birds. Its closest relatives are probably the brown fulvetta and the black-browed fulvetta, which was only recently recognized as a distinct species again. The Javan fulvetta and the Nepal fulvetta might also belong to this group. The brown-cheeked fulvetta is a resident breeding bird in Bangladesh, India and Southeast Asia. Its habitat is undergrowth in moist forests and scrub jungle. This species, like most babblers, is not migratory, and has short rounded wings and a weak flight. This babbler builds its nest in trees, concealed in dense masses of foliage. The normal clutch is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
