How to spot
Listen for its raucous, laughing calls, often given by a group. Look for a large, dark bird with prominent white wing patches, often foraging on or near the forest floor, or perching in dense trees.

Resident year-round. Most vocal and active during the early morning and late afternoon. Can be more easily found during the breeding season.

The 'laughing' in its name comes from its characteristic loud, cackling, and often chorus-like vocalizations, which are a hallmark of many laughingthrush species.
