What they eat: These birds eat mainly insects, but at platform and ground feeders, they prefer sunflower seeds, fruit, and suet. |

Where they live: Varied Thrushes tend to live in dark, wet forests along the U.S. west coast up into western Canada and Alaska. |

Did you know? This bird is shyer than most. When it senses it is being observed, it appears to become nervous and will rarely display self-maintenance behaviors. |
