Feeding Habits
White-backed Thrush's diet consists of insects and worms in summer, shifting to berries such as Juniperus squamata in autumn and winter. They forage primarily on the ground, exhibiting gregarious behavior by feeding in flocks, sometimes with other thrush species.
Habitat
White-backed Thrush primarily inhabits mountainous regions characterized by rocky scrub and dwarf bushes, including rhododendron and juniper species. These birds are associated with areas above the tree line, where they may descend to lower altitudes during winter. Habitats also extend to open shrubby vegetation, juniper scrub, and cultivated areas such as orchards and potato fields within their broader Himalayan range.
