PAKHI DEKHUN PAKHI CHINUN # 568/597(Observe the Bird and recognize)..SCALY THRUSH...GELPEN AND COLOURED PENCIL..2015... [From the photograph of MR. PARAG JYOTI PHUKAN]... The scaly thrush (Zoothera dauma) is a member of the thrush family Turdidae. It breeds in wet coniferous taiga, mainly in the Himalayas through Malaysia . The sexes are similar, 27–31 cm long, with black scaling on a paler white or yellowish background. The most striking identification feature in flight is the black band on the white underwings, a feature shared with Siberian thrush. The male has a song which is a loud, far-carrying mechanical whistle, with 5-10 second pauses between each one second long phrase twee...tuuu....tuuu....tuuu. The scaly thrush is very secretive, preferring dense cover. It nests in trees, laying three or four dull green eggs in a neat cup nest. It is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, earthworms and berries.[INFO:WIKIPEDIA]
