The curve-billed thrasher (Toxostoma curvirostre) is a member of the mockingbird and thrasher family, with a musical song. Its diet consists of insects, fruits and seeds. It is a common resident of deserts and arid shrubland. It uses the long, curved bill for finding insects and other food by flicking away debris from the ground surface. It nests in cholla cacti, much like the cactus wren, although its nest is quite different from the wren's - a loose nest made from sticks (see below).
