Given that according to the HBW, the species prefers dense primary and secondary montane forests, the note that the bird also forages among kitchen waste (in the same HBW entry) seems somewhat incongruous. Quite possibly, this laughingthrush is now locally extinct in Switzerland or at least in Basel.
