Maranon Thrush

Turdus maranonicus

The Maranon Thrush (Turdus maranonicus) is a medium-sized songbird found in the Andes of South America. It has a distinctive olive-brown plumage with a pale belly and a reddish-orange undertail. This thrush is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard in the dense undergrowth of its mountainous habitat. It primarily feeds on insects, fruits, and berries. The Maranon Thrush is an important seed disperser for many plant species in its ecosystem. Despite its relatively stable population, habitat loss and fragmentation pose potential threats to its long-term survival.

Habitat: Andean mountain forests
