Issue Notice:
  • The white-browed nuthatch (Sitta victoriae), also known as the Victoria nuthatch, is a species of bird in the family Sittidae.
  • It is a small nuthatch, measuring 11.5 cm in length and without sexual dimorphism.
  • Like many other nuthatches, the upperparts are gray-blue, contrasting with white underparts on the throat, cheeks, and breast and orange on the flanks, belly, and lower abdomen.
  • Its white supercilium makes it easy to distinguish it from the white-tailed nuthatch (S. himalayensis), which is a close species in the systematic and geographical sense.
  • Little is known about its ecology, but it feeds on small insects found among bark and lichens, and breeding occurs around April.
  • The white-browed nuthatch is endemic to Nat Ma Taung, also known as Mount Victoria, in the southern Chin Hills of Myanmar.
  • It inhabits old oak groves at high elevations, generally above 2,600 m. The numbers of the species are poorly known but are estimated at a few thousand individuals.
  • They are threatened by habitat destruction by fire and human pressure. For these reasons, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature considers the bird to be an "endangered species."
