About These Birds
Amsel
Die Amsel ist einer der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Singvögel Europas, geschätzt für ihren volltönenden, flötenden Gesang, den sie in der Morgen- und Abenddämmerung von Dächern und Baumwipfeln vorträgt. Ursprünglich ein scheuer Waldvogel, hat sie im Laufe der letzten zwei Jahrhunderte städtische Lebensräume besiedelt und sich zu einem der erfolgreichsten Stadtvögel entwickelt.
Black-breasted Thrush
The Black-breasted Thrush is a medium-sized thrush of South and Southeast Asian forests, with males showing a striking black head, breast, and back contrasting with a bold white belly and orange flanks. It breeds in the Himalayan foothills and mountains of India, Myanmar, southern China, and northern Indochina, descending to lower elevations in winter. It feeds on fruits, berries, and invertebrates in forest undergrowth.
