About These Birds
American Robin
The American robin is widely regarded as a harbinger of spring across North America. Despite its name, it is a true thrush unrelated to the European robin. American robins produce two to three broods per year and are among the earliest birds to sing in the morning chorus.
African Thrush
The African Thrush is a widespread, medium-sized thrush weighing about 60 g with a wingspan near 22 cm. It inhabits forests, gardens, and wooded areas across sub-Saharan Africa, foraging on the ground for earthworms, fruits, and insects while delivering a rich, melodious song.
