Trait


I made the trait the Babblers beak so it ca get into and behind the trees bark more easily. This could also come good for protecting itself. The reason I picked this is that if the Babbler couldnt get food it would starve and die.

What would happen if it went extinct?

If the White Chested Babbler went extinct it would mean alot of animals would loose a big source of food. Bugs and other creatures would start to overpopulate in some areas making it tougher for other animals and humans.

A possible zoo habitat

They would need a little forest of trees and it would have to be inside a building and well heated so they couldnt get frost bite or hypnothermia. It would also need lowland forest ground covering. It would also need a couple of nesting areas.

why they're endangered


They are endangered because of loss of habitat and also from being killed by humans.
