Feeding Habits
Olive Thrush consumes a diverse diet, ranging from insects and small animals to various fruits. They forage on ground, flicking leaf litter and scratching with their feet. Particularly for nestlings, small earthworms are important. They have adapted to a broad, omnivorous diet.
Habitat
The olive Thrush primarily inhabits a variety of forested environments, including highland forests, lowland woodlands, and exotic tree plantations. It is also found in dense, unburnt regions of fynbos vegetation, gardens and parks in arid areas, and along Acacia thornbush watercourses in semi-desert regions. While it favors forested areas, olive Thrush can also adapt to suburban green spaces, showing a preference for areas with ample vegetation cover.

The 1–3 (usually 2) eggs are incubated solely by the female for 14–15 days to hatching, and the chicks fledge in another 16 days.
