**Sri Lankan Whistling Thrush & other endemic songbirds (group card) - Sri Lanka montane endemics
Status: Some species are Vulnerable or Endangered; many are restricted-range endemics.
Range / Countries: Sri Lanka (montane forests).
Habitat: Cloud forests, montane understory, perennial stream banks.
Diet: Insectivores/omnivores - insects, small invertebrates.
Lifespan: 3-10 years typical for small songbirds.
Reproduction: Seasonal breeders with small clutches.
Ecological role: Pest control, seed dispersal; part of montane forest acoustic identity.
Main threats: Habitat loss, fragmentation, climate change shifting montane zones.
Conservation notes: Protect montane reserves, control invasive species, and monitor climate impacts on elevational ranges.
Island songbirds stitch forest understories with song and insect control; many endemics have specialized niches and tiny ranges. Their songs and colors are perfect for audio-visual posts that pair image + sound.
