Grey Berho is fierce and loves to eat small beasts, birds, lizards, various insects, and other live animals. It often perches on the top of trees, hunts on the ground, and flies back to the branches after catching them. The catch is hung on a thorny tree, and with the help of the thorns, it is killed, torn apart and eaten, so some people call it a "butcher bird". The sharp and clear "schrreea" and the elongated nasal call "eeh" also make a coarse "ga-ga-ga" sound. It does not breed in China, but migrates along the northern provinces of China in spring and autumn, and a small number of individuals overwinter in China.
