Breeding in Northeast China, northeastern Qinghai to southern Gansu and Sichuan. Wintering in southern China, Taiwan and Hainan Island. Regional and not rare bird.
Mainly inhabits secondary broad-leaved forests and mixed forests in low mountains and hills and foothill plains, and also inhabits lush grass or reeds in plains, especially near streams and other water places. Because it is a ground-dwelling bird, it is easy to see them in thorny bushes, tall hay, wheat fields, bean fields, corn fields, cotton fields, sorghum fields or reed ponds during the migration period, and occasionally in gree

The Siberian Rubythroat is a songbird of the class Aves and family Flycatchers, with no subspecies.

The Siberian Rubythroat is a migratory bird that breeds in the northernmost part of China in summer and migrates to the southernmost part of China in late autumn to spend the winter. It passes Qingdao twice a year during spring and autumn migration. It is silent during migration and not easy to be noticed. The red-throated bluebird migrates at night based on the stars and magnetic field navigation, and rests during the day. In spring, it returns to its birthplace from its winter habitat to reproduce.

The red-throated bluebird is a ground-dwelling migratory bird. Generally, it does not move on large trees, but runs quickly on the ground. It likes to move on the ground, often jumping among the lush trees, bushes, reeds, and grass on the plains, or running on the ground nearby. Most of them forage on the ground near the water, pecking as they walk, and also forage on the low branches of the bushes. When running on the ground, they often pause for a while and spread their tail feathers like a fan. They often jump happily on the plains, reeds, and swamps. They are good at imitating the chirping of insects such as crickets, kikitoris, oil gourds, and golden bells. The red-throated bluebird is an insectivorous bird, mainly eating insects of the orders Orthoptera, Hemiptera, and Hymenoptera.

The red-throated thrush mainly feeds on insects, and also eats a small amount of plant food. It mainly eats insects such as Orthoptera, Hemiptera and Hymenoptera, and also eats fruits.

The male red-throated thrush has beautiful feathers and is good at singing. It usually sings in the morning, dusk and night. The singing is multi-rhythmic and gentle, beautiful and pleasant. It is good at imitating the singing of insects, crickets, oil gourds, golden bells and golden bells, especially when it is in heat, its singing is more pleasant.

The breeding season of the red-throated thrush is from May to July. During the breeding season, it emits multi-rhythmic and pleasant singing, often singing in the early morning, dusk and even on moonlit nights. The nest is built on the ground in a bush or grass-covered tree. The nest is oval and made of weeds, young roots, dead leaves and other materials. The nest is covered with a dome and usually has an entrance and exit on the side. The nest is surrounded by dense bushes or weeds, which are not easy to be discovered. Each nest lays 4-5 eggs, which are shiny blue-green and incubate for about 14 days. The chicks are late-maturing, and the male and female parents raise them together. The chicks stay in the nest for about 13 days.

The global population size of the red-throated thrush has not been determined, although in Europe, the breeding population is estimated to be 1,000-1,200 pairs, equivalent to 2,000-2,400 mature individuals (BirdLife International 2015), accounting for less than 5% of the global range. Total species population estimates include: about 10,000-100,000 breeding pairs, about 1,000-10,000 migrating individuals and about 1,000-10,000 wintering individuals in China; about 1,000-10,000 migratory individuals and 1,000-10,000 wintering individuals in Taiwan Island, China; about 10,000-100,000 breeding pairs and about 1,000-10,000 individuals in Korea; about 10,000-100,000 breeding pairs, about 1,000-10,000 migratory individuals and about 50-1,000 wintering individuals in Japan, and about 10,000-100,000 breeding pairs and about 1,000-10,000 migratory individuals in Russia.
