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.

Bassian Thrush

The Bassian Thrush is a ground-dwelling thrush of the family Turdidae found in moist forests, gullies, and rainforest across southeastern Australia and Tasmania. Weighing about 114g with a wingspan of 26.7cm, it has scalloped brown-and-buff plumage providing excellent camouflage on the forest floor. It feeds on earthworms, insects, and other invertebrates found in leaf litter.
