Philippine Creepers

Order: Passeriformes. Family: Rhabdornithidae

The Philippine creepers are similar to treecreepers. They have thin pointed down-curved bills, which they can use to extricate insects from bark, but they have brush-like tongues, which enable them to also feed on nectar. There are 3 species which are endemic to the Philippines.

  • Long-billed Rhabdornis Rhabdornis grandis (E)
  • Stripe-breasted Rhabdornis Rhabdornis inornatus (E)
