Found in Angola, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, and Zambia (T. v. viridis ), coastal Kenya and Tanzania (T. v. nigricauda ), Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe (T. v. quartus ) and South Africa and Swaziland (T. v. quadricolor ).
Gorgeous bush-shrikes are seldom seen despite being a commonly occurring species, as they mostly dwell in densely vegetated woodlands. They are primarily insectivorous, gleaning insects from the understory growth they inhabit.
