The grey-crowned babbler (Pomatostomus temporalis) is a species of bird in the family Pomatostomidae.

[3] Other differences relate to brow coloration, facial bands through the eye, tail length, and overall size.

For example: The key process that has led to the decline of the eastern subspecies of the grey-crowned babbler has been the historic loss and fragmentation of its preferred woodland habitat.

[5] Grey-crowned babblers generally have a poor ability to migrate across unsuitable habitats.

Once a fragment has lost its population of grey-crowned babblers, natural recolonisation rarely occurs because of the species' poor dispersal ability.
