Turdidae
Turdus migratorius · Least concern
With about 370 million birds, the American robin is the most abundant land bird in North America. It was named after the European robin for its orange-red breast, though the two are not closely related. It is among the first birds to sing at dawn, and usually throws out cowbird eggs laid in its nest.

Turdidae
Turdus merula · Least concern
Until about the 18th century, 'bird' in English meant only small birds; crows were 'fowl'. So the common blackbird, named in 1486, was the only widespread black 'bird' in Britain, which is why it alone got the name.

Turdidae
Turdus pilaris · Least concern
Fieldfares often nest in small colonies, possibly for protection from predators. This 25 cm thrush breeds across northern Europe and the Palearctic and winters in large numbers in Britain, where it very rarely breeds. In winter it switches from worms and insects to berries and seeds.
