Shrike-thrushes are very closely related to whistlers, and may easily be mistaken for them. They are seen singly or in pairs. Females and males are clearly distinguishable as the female has an eye ring and eyebrow of pale feathers, unlike the male. More so than other shrike-thrushes, this bird is rather quiet in the rainforest. Its calls however are some of the most commonly mimicked by the Tooth-billed Bowerbird.
Birds feed usually on insects and their larvae from the mid canopy.
Often this is in masses of vines in the undergrowth, on various tree trunks, and sometimes from the ground. Near Chambers Wildlife Rainforest Lodge , and at Lake Eacham, this species is moderately common. All content, layout and design in this website are protected by copyright 1998 John Chambers.
