The species was only once observed by a naturalist, its discoverer Kittlitz. He encountered the thrush in the coastal woods where it usually kept to the ground; it may have been ground-nesting. The only specimens ever taken are in the Naturalis in Leiden , the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna , the Senckenbergmuseum in Frankfurt and in the Zoological Museum, St. Petersburg .
