>Recently I observed a Bower's Shrike-thrush killing an arboreal snail
>[Rhynchotrochus macgillivrayi] by tapping it repeatedly on a rock. It then
>extracted and ate the contents.
>I cannot find reference to such behaviour in shrike-thrushes or whistlers.
>The crustacean dietary items of the White-breasted Whistler I suspect would
>be dispatched in a similar manner.
