Taiwan alone boasts 23 recorded Turdinae species. Among them, a number are unique to Taiwan, including the plumbeous water redstart, which lives by rivers, the sizeable Taiwan whistling thrush, and the collared bush robin, which is found only in Taiwan's high mountains.
台灣記錄過的鶇亞科鳥類多達二十三種，溪畔的鉛色水鶇、大型的紫嘯鶇，都是寶島「只此一家，別無分號」的特有種、或特有亞種，栗背林鴝更是僅見於台灣高山的特有鳥類。
