Thrushes – Group Overview

Thrushes are medium-sized passerine birds known for their rich, melodious songs and generally upright posture. They occur across a wide range of habitats including forests, woodland edges, gardens, rocky hillsides, and streamside environments.

Thrushes belong to the family Turdidae, a diverse group that includes blackbirds, rock thrushes, whistling thrushes, and ground thrushes. Many species forage on or near the ground, feeding on insects, earthworms, fruits, and berries.

Plumage among thrushes varies widely, from subtle browns and mottling to striking blues, oranges, and blacks. Some species are secretive and elusive, while others are highly vocal and conspicuous, particularly during the breeding season.
