==Distribution and habitat==
[[File:SpottedBabbler.ogg
This bird is a common resident breeder in the [[Himalayas]] and the forests of Asia. Like most babblers, it is not [[bird migration|migratory]], and has short rounded wings and a weak flight. Its habitat is scrub and [[bamboo]] thickets and forages by turning over leaves to find insects.<ref name=hbk/>
==Behaviour and ecology==
[[File:
Puff-throated Babblers vocalize often. Their calls are a series of whistling notes ascending in scale. Some calls have been transcribed as ''he'll beat you, pret-ty-sweet''. The calling can be persistent. The breeding season is mainly during the rainy season. They build a nest on the ground at the base of bush and is a dome of leaves and twigs with an entrance on the side. The opening usually pointing downhill when the nest is on slopy ground. The clutch varies from 2 to 5 eggs, with northern populations tending towards larger clutches. Parent birds run rodent-like in the undergrowth as they move in and out of the nest. Young birds fledge and leave the nest about 12 to 13 days after hatching.<ref name=hbk/><ref>{{cite book| url= http://www.archive.org/stream/popularhandbooko033226mbp#page/n87/mode/1up| pages=53–54|title= Popular Handbook of Indian Birds. |edition=4|publisher = Gurney and Jackson| place=London| author=Whistler, Hugh}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|title=The nest of the Yellow-browed Bulbul (Iole icterica) and the Spotted Babbler (Pellorneum ruficeps)|author= Betham R M |year=1903|pages=346–347|url=http://www.archive.org/stream/journalofbombayn15bomb#page/346/mode/1up/| journal= J.
