Ha ha ha! The laughing thrush makes a loud musical sound - and often. It is a member of the bird family called babblers, which is known for “chatting noisily.”

This mountain bird searches the forest floor for fruit, seeds, and insects. Cup-shaped nests are built only 6 feet above the ground. Flock members help each other in raising nestlings.
