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.
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.
