White-Rumped Shama Thrush
Shama
The Shama’s natural food in the wild is insects, which they find by foraging through the fallen leaves on the ground. If you are rehabbing one, you can give it a diet of boiled, dried legumes with egg yolk, tofu, as well as raw meat supplemented with egg-shell powder for calcium and a drop of coconut or olive oil for Vit. E. They also love live mealworms and crickets. These are very high in protein.
Shamas are exceptionally clean birds, they need a dish of water to bathe at least once a day.
