Thrushes

The Thrushes (Turdidae) comprise 166 species of passerine birds that occur mainly — but not exclusively — in the Old World. Apart from thrushes the family contain the American bluebirds and solitaires.

Thrushes are plump, soft-plumaged, small to medium-sized birds, inhabiting wooded areas, and often feed on the ground or eat small fruit. They are insectivorous, but most species also eat worms, snails, and fruit. Many species are permanently resident in warm climes, while others migrate to higher latitudes during summer, often over considerable distances. The songs of some species, including members of the genera Catharus, Myadestes, and Turdus, are considered to be among the most beautiful in the avian world.
