Own every animal of the family Phylloscopidae.
Leaf warblers are small greenish or brownish birds that search foliage for insects. Many species look almost identical. Their song is often the surest way to identify them. They live mostly across Eurasia. Many migrate to warmer lands for the winter. Many weigh under ten grams.
The start of their anecdote. The album's other cards are for you to discover in the game.
Phylloscopidae
Phylloscopus borealis · Least concern
Every Arctic warbler spends the winter in southeast Asia, which gives this small leaf warbler one of the longest migrations of any Old World insect-eating bird. It breeds in birch forests near water, from Fennoscandia across the northern Palearctic, and has even gained a foothold in Alaska.

Phylloscopidae
Phylloscopus collybita · Least concern
It is named after its song, a simple, repeated chiff-chaff, and other languages hear it the same way: tjiftjaf in Dutch, Zilpzalp in German, siff-saff in Welsh. Its song is one of the first signs of spring, as it is among the first small birds to return in spring and among the last to leave in autumn.

Phylloscopidae
Phylloscopus fuscatus · Least concern
Its call is often the first clue that this skulking bird is around, away from its breeding grounds in the taiga bogs. Strongly migratory, it winters in South and Southeast Asia, yet strays have reached Alaska, California and, in December 2025, a city park in Porto, Portugal.
