Feeding Habits
White-necked Laughingthrush primarily consumes invertebrates and nectar. It forages in leaf litter and at heights up to 12m, often joining large mixed-species flocks. Known for being noisy but shy.
Habitat
The white-necked Laughingthrush predominantly resides in broadleaf evergreen forests which are characterized by a rich assembly of evergreen tree species. These habitats maintain a lush, green canopy throughout the year, offering a stable environment that supports the diverse understory vegetation and provides ample food sources and shelter for the species.

Distribution Area
The white-necked laughingthrush is native to tropical southeastern Asia. Its range includes central and northern Thailand, eastern Myanmar, western Laos and Yunnan province in southwestern China. Its altitudinal range is between 500 and 1,800 m (1,600 and 5,900 ft). It typically occurs in lowland and montane broad-leaved forest and scrubland.
Species Status
The white-necked laughingthrush has a very wide range and is described as fairly common, apart from in China where it is described as rare. The population trend is probably in decline because of habitat destruction, but the total population is large and the decline is not sufficiently rapid to cause concern. No other threats have been identified and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed the bird's conservation status as being of "least concern".
