All the ivy in and around my garden is full of blackbirds eating the berries and making their sweet little noise. I don't think it usually happens on the same day as frogs spawning

The main theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Birds&Bugs and the alternative theme is #EverydayBirds
These Common Blackbirds (Turdus merula) taking food back to the nest in my S. Cambridgeshire garden fit both themes.

They are very intelligent, crows and blackbirds, have the ability to remember faces of humans. I always treat them with respect, they hold grudges.

Oh, wow! I don’t get any blackbirds or grackles, but plenty of house finches and goldfinches.

I’m so jealous. I can’t get finches to save my life but I love my usual crew of doves, grackles and red winged blackbirds.

Let’s see ICE handle those asshole blackbirds.
There are reports of red-winged blackbirds arriving in the Chicago area.

Oh yes, they only hate cranes during nesting. In 2024 migration, I saw red-winged blackbirds migrating with sandhill cranes. It was lovely. A whole flock of them staying close to the cranes in the farm fields. It was a remarkable encounter.

It's just defending their nesting area. But those blackbirds CAN be quite aggressive towards the herons and cranes and egrets. That's the first egret I have seen being bothered by them. Nice capture!

Yeah I got a distorted idea due to Woody Woodpecker 🤣
Seems ± the same size than a blackbird, indeed. Common these are over here, yes. Although not in cities; there are only magpies & pigeons in towns nowadays 😔😕 Just two miles out tho, and you’ll see plenty of blackbirds & others! 😊🐦

Gathering of blackbirds.
Informed by a photo from September, 2022.
Every year blackbirds gather for their migration to somewhere hopefully warmer.
