Taxonomy and systematics
The grey-headed parrotbill was alternatively considered as a member of the Old World babblers (family Timaliidae) or in a distinct family Paradoxornithidae, but is now classified with the Sylviid babblers by the IOC.[1] Until 2008, the black-headed parrotbill was also considered as a subspecies of the grey-headed parrotbill.[2]
Distribution and habitat
The natural habitat of the grey-headed parrotbill is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
gollark: One really cool thing I use on a server is NixOS.
gollark: Yes, because they compile the binaries on their end.
gollark: I use Arch Linux, which is rolling release (there are no fixed versions of the distro, you just update your packages whenever they get updated), very flexible (you install it manually, choosing partition layout, DE, extra software, etc), and has the AUR, a giant collection of user-packaged software.
gollark: Plus different stuff for managing services.
gollark: Many of them have different sets of available packages and stuff, or different package managers, or different desktop environments (you can usually swap them, though).
