The Nilgiri thrush is a species of bird found in the Western Ghats mountain range in India. It is a medium-sized bird with a distinctive black and orange coloration, and is typically found in forested areas and montane grasslands.
The Nilgiri thrush feeds on a variety of insects and other invertebrates, as well as fruits and berries. It is known for its melodious and flute-like song, which is often heard during the breeding season.
Although the Nilgiri thrush is not considered to be endangered, habitat loss and degradation due to deforestation and human activities are potential threats to its populations in some areas. Conservation efforts, such as protecting natural habitats and regulating logging and other human activities, are important for the long-term survival of this species.
