The voice of South Asia’s wild gardens.

Ashy Prinia - Prinia socialis
(Publish in multi-language subtitles)

Meet the Ashy Prinia — a tiny, lively songbird just 12 to 13 centimeters long and weighing only about 7 grams.

This prinia stands out with its soft ashy-grey upperparts, rufous-buff underparts, and an elegant long tail that bobs constantly as it moves through the bushes. In the breeding season, its colors sharpen — the eyes turn ruby red, and the bill deepens to black, while the tail shortens slightly. Both males and females look alike, though the young are duller and more yellowish.

The Ashy Prinia is found across South Asia — from India and Pakistan to Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka — thriving anywhere with dense vegetation.

They love bushy grasslands, scrub, gardens, and forest edges, often staying close to the ground, hopping from stem to stem in search of tiny insects, spiders, and even flower nectar.

One can often hear its sharp “chit-chit” call before you see it darting back into cover.

Breeding runs from March to November, varying with local rains. The Ashy Prinia is a remarkable nest builder — stitching leaves together with up to 200 tiny threads of plant fiber, forming a small cradle for three to five eggs.

Both parents take turns incubating and feeding their chicks, though many nests fall prey to snakes, lizards, or even heavy rains.

Despite these challenges, this adaptable little bird remains widespread and thriving — listed as a species of Least Concern.
