The Indian Silverbill (Euodice malabarica), also known as the White-throated Munia, is a small passerine bird found across the Indian subcontinent and parts of the Middle East, including the UAE. Recognized by its compact size, pale brown upperparts, white underparts, and distinct silver-gray bill, this finch-like bird is often seen in dry scrublands, grasslands, and urban areas. It is highly social, frequently forming flocks that forage on grass seeds and small insects. The Indian Silverbill is known for its soft, twittering calls and communal nesting behavior, often building dome-shaped nests in thorny bushes or using abandoned nests of other birds. Adaptable to human-modified landscapes, it thrives in farmlands, parks, and gardens, making it a common sight across its range.
