It is found in China. Its natural habitat is temperate forests.

Mating and Breeding

They breed from March to June. [2] They lay clutches of 2-3 white eggs, [2] which they incubate for 13-14 days [2] in nests made of tree bark, withered stems, hair, thin plastic threads, and plastic sheets.

<i>Fulvetta</i> Genus of birds

Fulvetta is a genus of passerine birds. Originally proposed in 1877, it was recently reestablished for the typical fulvettas, which were long included with their presumed relatives in the Timaliidae genus Alcippe. But they are actually quite closely related to the parrotbills, and are thus now placed in the family Paradoxornithidae.
