The Comoro thrush is a brown bird with olive tinged upperparts, slightly more rufous on the tail and wings.

[3] The song is a typically thrush-like series of melodious, rich notes which varies between islands.

[3] The Comoro thrush normally forages low down in the understorey or on the ground, looking fore spiders, grasshoppers, bugs, molluscs and some fruit and seeds.

It breeds in mid-August to October when a cup shaped nest is built from plant fibres and roots, covered in moss and lined with fine grasses.

[3] The Comoro thrush is classified as Near threatened by the IUCN and the main threat is habitat loss through forest degradation due to clearance by subsistence farmers and firewood cutting.
