The common iora is a small passerine bird found across the tropical Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, with populations showing plumage variations, some of which are designated as subspecies.

 

oras moult twice in a year and the plumage variation makes them somewhat complicated for plumage based separation of the populations.

 

A species found in scrub and forest, it is easily detected from its loud whistles and the bright colours.

During the breeding season, males display by fluffing up their feathers and spiral in the air appearing like a green, black, yellow, and white ball.
