Grey-headed bushshrikes are birds that appear in The Lion Guard universe. They live in the Pride Lands and the Back Lands.
Appearance[]
Grey-headed bushshrikes are medium-sized birds with green upperparts, a yellow belly, an orange breast, and, as the name suggests, a gray head. Their bills are robust and recurved.
