This bird's call is also believed to alert other species to the presence of predators. So, should we encounter the grey go-away-bird, and should that encounter feel significant, then we should consider the bird's call. Consider your life, and the life of your loved ones: is there any danger you are not fully aware of?
The brown thrasher is abundant throughout the eastern and central United States and southern and central Canada, and it is the only thrasher to live primarily east of the Rockies and central Texas. It is the state bird of Georgia.
