Demography and Populations

Introduction

Usually inhabiting in large concentrations, and actually is one of the most common bird species at the habitat it inhabits, especially at high elevetion oak forests. While there is not much data available on its demography, up to 30 individuals have been recorded in a 1 km transect (personal observations).

At least two species of chewing lice have been reported as parasitizing Black-billed Nightingale-Thrush: Myrsidea rohi (Ansari 1956) and Myrsidea cerrodelamuertensis (Kounek et al. 2013).
