Description

The fruithunter or fruit-hunter (Chlamydochaera jefferyi), also known as the black-breasted fruit-hunter, is an enigmatic species of bird currently placed with the typical thrushes in the family Turdidae. It is endemic to forests on the south-east Asian island of Borneo. It is highly distinct from other thrushes, instead being convergent to Corvoidea such as trillers (Lalage) or true orioles (Oriolus). Thus it is placed in a monotypic genus Chlamydochaera. The fruithunter is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.

Feeding Habits
Fruit-hunter primarily consumes a variety of fruits like Litsea cubica berries and large green fruits with sizeable seeds, supplementing their diet with animal matter like snails during dry periods. They forage mainly in the middle storey, often joining mixed flocks, and demonstrate unique feeding behaviors like breaking snails on hard surfaces.
Habitat
The fruit-hunter resides primarily in tall lower montane forests, which are characterized by a diverse array of flora offering abundant fruit resources. These regions are typically rich in biodiversity and provide a suitable environment that supports the foraging behavior of fruit-hunter. Additionally, this species is also known to inhabit nearby gardens, which may present alternative food sources and nesting opportunities. The natural surroundings marked by thick vegetation and canopy cover are essential for the concealment and reproductive activities of fruit-hunter.
