A bird with a prey in its beak. Published in HBW Volume 12 on page 300. Original HBW caption: The Ashy-throated Parrotbill travels in parties of 10–40 individuals in the non-breeding season, foraging mainly on seeds and buds, although it may search for insects, if available. During the breeding season, the insect component increases, making up most of the food provisioned to nestlings. Insects are caught in a relatively sluggish manner by examining foliage and plucking off slow-moving forms such as larval lepidoptera or adult orthopterans. This species occurs in south China and north Vietnam, while a small population founded on escaped cagebirds is now established in Italy. IBC scientific name: Sinosuthora alphonsiana alphonsiana. Elevation: 960 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
