About the Southern Pied Babbler
A medium-sized, cooperatively breeding bird of dry Kalahari savanna, with a white head and body contrasting with dark brown wings and tail. It lives in noisy groups of two to sixteen, spending most of its foraging time on the ground digging for invertebrates. Groups strongly defend their territory year-round with wing and vocal displays, and all members help raise the young of a single dominant breeding pair.
