Chubb's cisticola (Cisticola chubbi) is a species of bird in the family Cisticolidae. It is found in Cameroon, Kenya, Uganda and the Albertine Rift montane forests.
There are four subspecies:[2]
It is territorial.[3] It spends most of its time in dense vegetation.[3]
In duets, males trill and females whistle.[3] Females produce longer and lower-pitched notes.[3] Chubb's cisticolas also sometimes sing in choruses of up to five; this is most common at the end of breeding season.[3] Solo singing is very rare.[3]
Duets and choruses are likely primarily for the purpose of territorial defense.[3] They are always done while in sight of the other participating bird(s)—less than 1 meter apart.[3] They perform dance-like movements such as moving their tails and flapping their wings to make snapping noises.[3]
They sing from elevated places.[3]
They are most likely monogamous.[3]
Nests are primarily built by females, and are placed 0.5-2m above the ground.
Females take the main role in incubating eggs.[3]
