About the Sunda Thrush

The Sunda thrush (Zoothera andromedae) is a species of bird in the family Turdidae. It is found in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests and tropical moist montane forests. Despite its highly spreadout montane distribution, no geographical variation is evident. This species is monotypic and has no subspecies. This species feeds on insects where it hops around the forest floor that is well shaded with dense vegetation. This species breeds from October to February but an adult in breeding condition with enlarged gonads has been collected in June on Mindanao. Nest is a solid cup of moss with fine roots, stems, lichens mixed with clay and palm fibers. This species lays 2 to 3 buff eggs with brownish speckles.
