Feeding Habits
Grey-sided Bush Warbler primarily consumes small invertebrates, including spiders and larvae, foraging on the ground or in low vegetation. Less elusive than similar species, grey-sided Bush Warbler may forage more openly during breeding season.
Habitat
The primary habitat of grey-sided Bush Warbler includes undergrowth and shrubberies at the fringes of evergreen and mixed conifer forests, with a preference for areas with rhododendron, stunted pines, bamboo, willow thickets, and patches of rose, Berberis, and gorse. They also inhabit clearings and, during the non-breeding season, are found in tall grasses and bracken on bushy hillsides and edges of cultivation in foothills, valleys, and plains.
