Size
16 cm
Feeding Habits
Grey-breasted Crake's diet consists mainly of earthworms, spiders, insects, and seeds. This bird forages on the ground, adeptly adapting its feeding to what is seasonally available while displaying a preference for small invertebrates.
Habitat
Grey-breasted Crake typically inhabits wetland environments such as marshes, riverbanks, and lake edges, where it favors areas with dense, short to fairly tall vegetation around 50–100 cm high, often found in shallow standing water, approximately 5–15 cm deep. This bird species also adapts to human-altered landscapes, being present in flooded rice fields, floating mats of Paspalum grass along rivers, as well as drier areas like pastures, fields of tall grass in developing housing areas, and airfields. Grey-breasted Crake tends to dwell in lower elevations, up to about 1700 meters. It shares some habitats with other species like Laterallus melanophaius and may utilize runways under grass similar to swathes used by swamp rats.
