About These Birds
Black-eared Ground-thrush
The Black-eared Ground-thrush is a secretive forest thrush with warm olive-brown upperparts, a boldly spotted white underside, and a distinctive black ear patch. It is found in lowland and montane rainforests of west-central Africa, particularly Cameroon and surrounding regions. It forages quietly on the forest floor, turning leaf litter to find invertebrates, earthworms, and small fruits.
African Thrush
The African Thrush is a widespread, medium-sized thrush weighing about 60 g with a wingspan near 22 cm. It inhabits forests, gardens, and wooded areas across sub-Saharan Africa, foraging on the ground for earthworms, fruits, and insects while delivering a rich, melodious song.
