Animal Facts:
The Eurasian blackbird (Turdus merula), also known as the common blackbird, is a charming songbird native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, with introduced populations in Australia and New Zealand. The males are unmistakable with their glossy black feathers, bright yellow beak, and eye-ring, while females sport a more subtle brown plumage.
Famous for their melodious, flute-like songs, blackbirds often serenade from rooftops or trees, especially in the early morning and evening. They even have a knack for mimicking sounds from their environment, including car alarms!
These birds are expert foragers, pulling earthworms from the ground and feasting on berries, insects, and even small amphibians. In winter, they become more sociable, forming loose flocks while searching for food.
Fun fact: The phrase "four calling birds" in the carol The Twelve Days of Christmas originally referred to "colly birds," an old term meaning "black as coal" and describing blackbirds! Whether as a symbol of song, resilience, or even folklore, the Eurasian blackbird is a much-loved resident of gardens and woodlands alike.
