Ashy Thrush (Geokichla cinerea)
About the Ashy Thrush
The ashy thrush (Geokichla cinerea), also known as the ashy ground-thrush, is a species of bird in the family Turdidae. It is endemic to the Philippines in Luzon and Mindoro. Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests and or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss, and the illegal wildlife trade. This species is monotypic. In 2012, these birds were discovered to be present in the La Mesa Ecopark which is close to the heart of Metro Manila and is the main site where these birds are observed (80% of all EBird records) and studied, thus most of this information is from this subpopulation. These are ground birds and eat earthworms and other small insects. It has also been recorded feeding on figs.
