The Cambodian tailorbird or the Orthotomus chaktomuk, a bird species that is completely new, has been discovered in Phnom Penh. First spotted in 2009 when checks for avian flu were made, more specimens have since been seen in regions around the city, the BBC reported. Tests that include plumage to songs and genes have shown that Tailorbirds are a new species. It is unusual to find undiscovered bird species in urban areas. Tailorbirds, according to the BBC, live in a small area made up of dense scrubland in the floodplain of the Mekong River, near Phnom Penh.
