Ground Thrush
The ''Geokichla'' thrushes are medium-sized mostly insectivorous or omnivorous birds in the thrush family, Turdidae. They were traditionally listed in the '' Zoothera'', but studies suggested their placement in another genus. The genus name ''Geokichla'' comes from Ancient Greek ''geo-'', "ground-" and ''kikhle'', " thrush".

Siberian Thrush
The Siberian thrush (''Geokichla sibirica'') is a member of the thrush family, Turdidae. The genus name ''Geokichla'' comes from Ancient Greek ''geo-'', "ground-" and ''kikhle'', " thrush". The specific ''sibirica'' is Latin for Siberia. It breeds in taiga in Siberia. It is strongly migratory, with most birds moving to southeastern Asia during the winter. It is a very rare vagrant to western Europe. It is very secretive. The Siberian thrush is similar in size to the song thrush. It is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, earthworms and berries. The male Siberian thrush is a dark blue-grey above and below, with a white stripe above the eye. The lower belly and flanks are white. The female is a much browner bird, with a buff stripe above the eye. A striking identification feature of both sexes in flight is the black band on the white underwings, a feature shared with the scaly thrush.

Red-backed Thrush
The red-backed thrush or rusty-backed thrush (''Geokichla erythronota'') is a species of bird in the family Turdidae. Traditionally, it included the red-and-black thrush (''Z. mendeni'') as a subspecies. It is endemic to forests on Sulawesi and the nearby islands of Buton and Kabaena in Indonesia. It is becoming rare due to habitat destruction. Taxonomy ''Geokichla erythronota'' is very similar in morphology to the chestnut-backed thrush (''Geokichla dohertyi'') and some authorities believe they are conspecific. Others believe they are distinct. A subspecies (''G. e. kabaena'') has been named from Kabaena and some researchers believe there is an unnamed race of ''G. erythronota'' on the island of Buton Buton (also Butung, Boeton or Button) is an island in Indonesia located off the southeast peninsula of Sulawesi.

Chestnut-backed Thrush
The chestnut-backed thrush (''Geokichla dohertyi'') is a ground thrush species endemic to Lombok, Timor and the Lesser Sunda Islands in Indonesia. The species is rapidly declining and it is already extinct on Lombok and possibly on Lesser Sunda. There are a number of European institutions that hold this species, including: Berlin Zoological Garden, Birdworld, Bristol Zoo, Royal Burgers' Zoo, Chester Zoo, Edinburgh Zoo, Durrell Wildlife Park, and Waddesdon Manor aviary. Six of these zoos have successfully bred them since October 2011 and there are now 91 of them in these institutions. Private Members of the Foreign Bird League in the UK are participating in the breeding scheme for this species and are being particularly successful. A European species, the fieldfare, was once also known by this nam The binomial name of this bird commemorates the American entomologist William Doherty William Doherty (May 15, 1857 in Cincinnati – May 25, 1901 in Nairobi) was an American entom ...

Chestnut-capped Thrush
The chestnut-capped thrush (''Geokichla interpres'') lives in forests and woodlands of Southeast Asia. It is a songbird species in the family Turdidae. Traditionally, it has included the Enggano thrush as a subspecies, but a recent review recommended treating them as separate. Consequently, the chestnut-capped thrush is monotypic. The chestnut-capped thrush has a black back and a white belly with black spots. As its common name suggests, it has a chestnut cap. Its face is black with a white mark on the cheeks and another on the lores. The superficially similar chestnut-backed thrush is substantially larger when seen alongside one another, and has a black crown and rufous back, whereas the Enggano thrush has an olive-ochre back and little or no white on the lores and auriculars. The chestnut-capped thrush is very rare in zoos. According to ISIS, Chester Zoo had the only female outside of Asia, until she died in 2007. However, small numbers have been held in private European avi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
