Common Iora

<em>Aegithina tiphia</em>, commonly known as the common iora, is a small passerine bird in the family Aegithinidae. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species is recorded in Norway and occupies a variety of aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environmental zones, reflecting its use of diverse habitats including gardens, forests, mangroves, and scrubland across South and Southeast Asia. The common iora is notable for the striking breeding plumage of males, which display bright yellow and black coloration. It typically forages in tree canopies, gleaning insects from foliage. Diet information beyond general insectivory is not available in current records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
