One For The Bird Brains, Dont Take it Personal

[leon]

Hi guys, this little bird comes each morning and during the day for a feed of Wheat Bix crumbs.

However we do not know what it is so to you Bird Brains out there do you have any idea what it maybe,

Thank you.

Looks extremely like a female grey shrike-thrush, or if it is smaller than it appears to me, it is probably a hooded Robin.

I think its more likely a dusky robin more than a shrike-thrush according to my bird book though I can't say for sure.

My bird books suggest immature Grey Shrikethrush, for which the rufous eyebrow tends to be characteristic. I see slight streaks in the throat and breast too, found also on females but more pronounced in juveniles. Apparently tame around human habitation in the east, so you seem to be training it young. Enjoy.

Have you heard it call? I have the occasional Shrike Thrush nest in my shed, they have a pretty distinctive (And really loud) call. They are just about deafening inside the shed.

Yep Paul it must be Shrike Thrush as Its call is very loud and distinctive and it also comes into the shed an is reasonably tame.
