Javan Cochoa Cochoa azurea

Found in Java, Indonesia. It is rather tame, moving quietly or sitting motionless for long periods, often in the lower and middle storeys, but also in the canopy. It is presumed to be largely sedentary, but may make local seasonal movements. It feeds on mainly fruits and berries, but will occasionally include insects and snails.

March 10, 2017 - Green Cochoa (Cochoa viridis)

These thrushes are found in parts of the Himalayas, India, southern and eastern China, and northern Southeast Asia. Usually foraging in pairs or small groups, they eat berries, insects, and mollusks. They have been observed beating snails against rocks to break their shells. Their nests are shallow cups built in tree forks from twigs, roots, and moss.
