Description
The Bhutan laughingthrush (Trochalopteron imbricatum) is a species of bird in the family Leiothrichidae. It is commonly found in Bhutan and some adjoining areas in India. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the streaked laughingthrush, G. lineatus, hence its alternate common name of Himalayan streaked laughingthrush.
Size
20 cm
Feeding Habits
Bhutan Laughingthrush's diet likely includes small invertebrates and some plant matter. They forage mainly on the ground, either in pairs, small flocks, or larger groups in winter, and exhibit confidence around humans.
Habitat
The bhutan Laughingthrush typically resides in environments characterized by dense undergrowth, including thick scrub adjoining agricultural lands, as well as scrublands and thickets within both open and secondary forests. These areas often undergo changes due to human activities such as tree-felling, shaping the bird's preferred surroundings. Broader geographical regions for the habitat include temperate forest zones within considerable altitudinal variances.
