Thrush (scientific name: Turdus merula) is a bird belonging to the genus Thrush, which is distributed in Europe, Africa and Asia. It often lives in the periphery of forest areas, on the edge of towns and villages, even in Gua Tian, in Ye Ping, in gardens and trees, and sometimes forages near garbage dumps and toilets. It is an omnivorous bird whose food includes insects, earthworms, seeds and berries. The male blackbird is black except for the yellow eyes and beak. Female and newborn blackbirds do not have yellow eyes, but they have brown feathers and beaks. The blackbird is the national bird of Sweden.
Blackbird: Feeding on the ground, quietly rummaging through the leaves for invertebrates and worms, and eating fruits and berries in winter. Habitat in woodland, the edge of villages and towns, plain grass or gardens, often running on the ground in groups of three or five, often looking for food in garbage dumps and toilets. Before they perch on the branches, they often make short cries of "cheep, cheep", and their songs are loud and beautiful, and they are good at imitating the songs of other birds. Timid, sharp-eyed, sensitive to the outside world.
Call: The blackbird is named after its black feathers. Its sound is like hitting a stone, and its sound is like "inside-inside-inside", also known as Wuji. In the spring breeding season, it can not only sing, but also imitate other birds. The voice is euphemistic, sometimes like a flute, sometimes like a flute rhyme, and the rhythm is changeable, so it is also called "Hundred Tongues".
Feeding habits: blackbirds live in plain grasslands or gardens and often run on the ground alone or in groups of three or five to feed. Plants are dominant in autumn and winter, and animals are dominant in spring and summer. The animals they eat are mainly insect larvae, such as caterpillars, dragonflies and fly maggots. The blackbird eats a lot. For example, a young tourist thrush fed by Professor Tradur, a Soviet bird expert, ate 68 larvae in 14 days, weighing more than 465,438+0% of the young bird's weight. The plants eaten by blackbirds include camphor trees, banyan trees and other weed seeds.
