Habitat
The austral Thrush inhabits a range of environments typically associated with dense tree cover, including Nothofagus forests, open woodlands, and forest edges. They are also found in lighter, open woodland areas, riparian willow zones, and regions with brushy vegetation. This bird adapts well to modified landscapes, such as agricultural lands with scattered trees, gardens, and urban parks. Austral Thrush shows a preference for habitats near coastlines, including tussac grasslands near beaches. Their elevation range spans from sea level up to 2150 meters. The highest population densities of austral Thrush occur in mature tussac areas adjacent to boulder-strewn beaches with an accumulation of dead kelp.
