Jerdon’s Babbler is mainly distributed in the eastern regions of Pakistan, including parts of Sindh and Punjab provinces. They prefer habitats with dense undergrowth such as scrub forests, thorny bushes, and thickets.
These babblers are elusive and tend to stay concealed within the vegetation, making them challenging to spot. They have a distinct call consisting of various chirps and whistles, which they use for communication within their social groups. Their diet primarily consists of insects and small invertebrates found on the forest floor, which they pick off using their slender bills.
