Estart

Estart, also known as the Estartidae family, is a group of small to medium-sized birds that are native to the forests of Southeast Asia. They are characterized by their long, slender bills, which are used for probing into tree bark to find insects and other small invertebrates. Estart birds have a distinctive appearance, with their long, pointed wings and short tails, which give them a unique flight pattern. They are often seen perching on branches, using their long bills to search for food.

The Estartidae family includes several species, with the most well-known being the Estart, or Estartidae estart. This species is found in the forests of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The Estart is a small bird, with a length of around 15-17 centimeters and a weight of around 25-30 grams. It has a grayish-brown plumage, with a white belly and a black cap. The Estart is a social bird, often seen in pairs or small groups, and is known for its distinctive call, which is a loud, repeated "chirp-chirp-chirp."

Estart birds play an important role in their ecosystems, as they help to control insect populations and contribute to the nutrient cycle. They are also an important food source for other animals, including birds of prey and small mammals. However, Estart birds are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as by the illegal wildlife trade. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these birds and their habitats, including the establishment of protected areas and the promotion of sustainable forestry practices.
