WHAT DOES TAILORBIRD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Tailorbird

Tailorbirds are small birds with most belonging to the genus Orthotomus often placed in the Old World warbler family Sylviidae. However, recent research suggests they more likely belong in the Cisticolidae and they are treated as such in Del Hoyo et al.. One species, the Mountain Tailorbird, is actually closer to an old world warbler genus Cettia. They occur in the Old World tropics, principally in Asia. These warblers are usually brightly colored, with green or grey upperparts and yellow white or grey underparts. They often have chestnut on the head. Tailorbirds have short rounded wings, short tails, strong legs and long curved bills. The tail is typically held upright, like a wren. They are typically found in open woodland, scrub and gardens. Tailorbirds get their name from the way their nest is constructed. The edges of a large leaf are pierced and sewn together with plant fibre or spider's web to make a cradle in which the actual grass nest is built.

Definition of tailorbird in the English dictionary

The definition of tailorbird in the dictionary is any of several tropical Asian warblers of the genus Orthotomus, which build nests by sewing together large leaves using plant fibres.
