Song thrushes feeding on mud snails

Notornis, 18 (3), 211-214

P.A. Nye (1971)

Article Type: Paper

Song thrushes Turdus philomelos were found feeding on mud snails at Papanui Inlet, Otago Peninsula. Thrushes break open mud snails with the same technique that they use for garden snails but their hammering must be more persistent because of the thicker shell. The distribution of this habit is discussed and further records requested.
