Feeding Habits
Grey Bush Chat predominantly consumes insects such as beetles and grasshoppers, supplementing its diet with spiders and small molluscs. Occasionally, grey Bush Chat may ingest seeds. This avian species employs active foraging methods to find prey, often during daylight hours, adapting to a diverse insectivorous diet with a preference for live prey.
Habitat
The grey Bush Chat resides in a variety of habitats, predominantly in subtropical and tropical regions. These birds are found in moist lowland and montane forests, as well as open scrubby hillsides, and bush-covered terrains. Typically encountered in environments such as grassy knolls near trees, edges of pine and broadleaf evergreen forests, they adapt well to human-altered landscapes like terraced agricultural lands, gardens, and weed-infested fields. In mountainous areas, they breed at altitudes ranging from 1500 to 3300 meters and may winter from the lowlands up to 2400 meters, favoring habitats with low hedgerows and bamboo jungles.
