Yemen Warbler

The Yemen Parisoma is a species of Old World warbler in the Sylviidae family. It is found in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.

The Yemen Warbler is classified as Vulnerable (VU), considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.

The Yemen warbler nests in bushes or trees, normally at a low height (2) (3). Mated pairs are monogamous and breed from March to July, although partners are thought to remain together for most of the year. Clutches typically contain three eggs (2). The diet consists primarily of insects, but fruits will also be taken when available. Feeding on nectar has also been suggested, although no detailed information exists on this (2). More
