Feeding Habits
Grey Thrasher primarily consumes arthropods and various cacti fruits, including those from Opuntia, Pereskiopsis, and Wilcoxia species, employing adept foraging and hunting techniques suited to its desert habitat.
Habitat
The grey Thrasher thrives in arid lowland scrub habitats characterized by a mix of arid to semi-arid, open to semi-open terrains. These areas are typified by a presence of cacti, scrub vegetation, scattered bushes, and trees, and occasionally include grassy patches. Cacti are especially indicative of the grey Thrasher's preferred environment. However, grey Thrasher are not found in sand dune plant communities, suggesting selectivity in their habitat choice within broader geographic regions of drylands.
