Feeding Habits
Scaly Thrush primarily eats invertebrates like worms, insects, larvae, slugs, and snails, supplemented by berries. Scaly Thrush forages on the ground or in low vegetation, displaying a distinctive bobbing walk and manipulates leaf litter with its bill. This bird is most active at dawn and dusk, often using forest paths for feeding.
Habitat
The scaly Thrush is typically found in mature broadleaf and conifer forests that offer a dense bushy understory and moist soil conditions. During winter, scaly Thrush inhabits dense forests with varied undergrowth composed of bracken, grassy clearings, forest edges, sal trees, stream sides, bamboo clumps, and mango groves. These environments span across broader geographical regions, from the forested plains to areas with denser vegetation.
