The arrow-marked babbler (Turdoides jardineii) is a species of bird in the Leiothrichidae family. It is native to woodlands in the southern Afrotropics. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, dry savanna, and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland.

 

The arrow-marked babbler lives in social groups of between 3 and 15 birds (six being the average) that defend large territories, with the size of the territory being dependent upon the number of individuals in the group. They feed on insects, spiders and sometimes snails and lizards, as well as fruits. Foraging occurs near the ground, sometimes in association with other babblers or bulbuls.
