About These Birds
Common Blackbird
The common blackbird is one of Europe's most familiar and best-loved songbirds, celebrated for its rich, fluting song delivered from rooftop and treetop perches at dawn and dusk. Originally a shy woodland bird, it has colonized urban environments over the past two centuries and become one of the most successful urban adapters.

Weighing about 49.3g with a wingspan of 21.6cm, it has a distinctive yellow bare eye-ring. It forages on the ground for invertebrates and feeds on berries and fruit in the forest understory.
