The Antthrush is a species of passerine song bird known to bird watchers as “ant birds.” Residents of Argentina and Brazil, Bolivia, Peru and Ecudaor know these birds well. An antthrush specializing in ground ants seeks ants on the forest floor, and ant thrushes seeking canopy prey lives in the trees. Tree ant thrushes have less developed feet legs and strength.
Antthrushes do not generally make up a completely endangered species. Hooked bills and a “tooth” inside the bill in larger ant thrushes do occur. This helps the ant thrushes sort for ants in thickets and leafy woodlands. Flock hunting means ant colonies and war marches get rudely interrupted. The ant pairing lasts into overtime and both parents mind the eggs. Grey ant thrushes and “cinnamon” ant shrikes also range in these woodlands. Red tails can be found in Tanzania and the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, and other tropical parts of those regions.
The Antthrush is known for its shape and easily recognizable as similar to a thrush. Two styles of ant thrush emerge, short squarish feathers and long feathery tails parallel to the body. Unusual characteristics of the Antthrush not known to every day bird watchers might the primary ant makeup in the diet. Habits of the everyday ant thrush do not included massive flight, the wings having been somewhat abandoned due to tree and ground foraging.
The Antthrush will weigh when born and grow into a adult the size of half pounds. Unlike many exotic tropical birds, the ant thrush will have dullish black or brown feathered colorations with whitish trim that blends with their hunting grounds. The wingspan will develop into a length from 4 to about 15 inches. The Antthrush subsists on a diet of ants of any variety.
Ant thrushes in some subspecies are considered endangered natural wildlife and occur in nature with diminishing frequency. Critical endangerment status was conferred on a disappointing variety of 4 ant thrushes. More ant thrushes suffer lingering presences on the borderline of this classification.
The Ant thrush can be found wandering the twigs, trees trunks and brush ground of native lands. Rainforest ant thrushes from southern Mexico to northern Argentina hide in canopied leaves or hunt the ground for insect prey. Wherever ants go, the ant thrush will follow.
Ant thrush species are also found in the Amazon in Brazil and at the Orinoco River in Venezuela. Farming, mining and current trends in development in these emerging countries occurs at the expense of many local ant thrush birds. The deforestation then will have obvious disadvantages for continued ant thrush well being.
Some different types of antthrush include, Mexican Antthrush, Rufous-tailed Antthrush, Black-faced Antthrush, Black-headed Antthrush, Striated Antthrush, Brazilian Antthrush, Barred Antthrush, Rufous-breasted Antthrush, and Rufous-fronted Antthrush।
