Habitat Comparison
Mirlo Común
Woodland, hedgerows, gardens, and parks. One of the most common garden birds across Europe.
Águila Arpía
Tropical lowland rainforests, requiring large tracts of continuous forest with tall emergent trees for nesting.
Song & Call Comparison

Arguably Britain's finest songster: rich, flute-like phrases with deep, mellow quality. Sings persistently at dusk. Alarm is a sharp 'chook-chook'. Song includes liquid 'pew' notes.
Águila Arpía
Rarely heard; emits mournful whistled screams 'wheee-oo' and low croaking grunts near the nest. Vocalizations poorly documented given its remote Amazonian habitat.
Geographic Range & Migration
Mirlo Común
Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Introduced to Australia and New Zealand. Northern populations are migratory.
Águila Arpía
Central and South America from southern Mexico through Brazil and northern Argentina. Range is shrinking due to deforestation.
