Being insectivores, their diet primarily consists of insects, larvae, caterpillars, moths, seeds, and more.

Although, unlike their other thrush cousins who hunt on the ground, they prefer to hunt prey from the trees.

Only the adult males of the species sport such a deep royal blue color, the females are brownish-gray.

These birds are plentifully found in their preferred low to mid altitudes of the Himalayas.

Their breeding season occurs between May and July where a nest built in the shape of a large bowl is placed on a ledge or edge of a rock.

They are currently not threatened and are fruitful in population.
