About These Birds
Eastern Bluebird
The eastern bluebird is a beloved symbol of happiness in North America. Once declining due to habitat loss and competition from introduced species, populations recovered dramatically thanks to a massive citizen science nest box campaign. These gentle thrushes form loose winter flocks and huddle together in nest boxes during cold snaps.
Abyssinian Thrush
The Abyssinian Thrush weighs about 68g and is resident in highland forests of East Africa. It forages on the ground for earthworms and invertebrates in forest clearings.
