Скачать или смотреть A Poem for the Beautiful Blackbird

Here are some facts about our dear Blackbirds:

1. **Black Brown & Beautiful: ** While the male blackbird is indeed black with a bright yellow beak and eye ring, the female is brown with a slightly paler throat and mottled underparts.

2. **Melodious Singers: ** Male blackbirds are known for their beautiful, fluting song, often heard at dawn and dusk. They have a wide repertoire of whistles, trills, and warbles.

3. **Skilled Foragers: ** Blackbirds are excellent at finding food. They have a keen sense of hearing and can detect earthworms and insects just below the surface of the ground. They also eat fruits, berries, and seeds. They are often seen hopping across lawns or digging in flowerbeds in search of food.

4. **Adaptable Habitat: ** Blackbirds are found in a wide range of habitats, from gardens and parks to woodlands and farmlands. They are very adaptable and can thrive in both urban and rural environments.

5. **Early Nesters: ** Blackbirds often start nesting earlier than many other birds, sometimes as early as March. This can give them an advantage in raising their young before the competition gets too fierce. The female builds a cup-shaped nest in a hedge, bush, or tree, and lays 3-5 bluish-green eggs speckled with reddish-brown.

6. **Territorial: ** Blackbirds are territorial birds, especially during the breeding season. Males will defend their territory with song and aggressive displays, sometimes even engaging in physical fights with rivals.

7. **Widespread Distribution: ** Blackbirds are one of the most common birds in Europe and have also been introduced to other parts of the world, including New Zealand and Australia.
