Feeding Habits
White-throated Robin primarily feeds on insects, complementing its diet with fruits in autumn. It exhibits typical foraging and hunting behaviors to catch prey. Its dietary preferences shift seasonally, showcasing an adaptive feeding strategy.
Habitat
White-throated Robin inhabit semi-arid to arid landscapes, favoring stony arid hillsides with scrub, scrubby valleys, mountain steppes, and ravines with mountain streams. It adapts to a variety of vegetation types such as juniper, Zygophyllum bushes, and tall weeds, typically between 1000–2200 meters elevation. During the breeding season, white-throated Robin can be found in semi-desert conditions and open oak steppe, often on south-facing slopes with fresh water and dense shrub layers. On migration, it utilizes palm groves, gardens, and willow scrub. In winter, white-throated Robin prefers scrub and thickets in semi-arid woodlands, especially acacia-Commiphora, typically at altitudes of 300–1500 meters.
