Turdus merula, commonly known as the Common Blackbird, is a medium-sized passerine bird in the thrush family, Turdidae. Adult males are easily recognized by their glossy black plumage, bright yellow eye-ring, and yellow bill, while females and juveniles display brownish feathers with streaked underparts. These birds are widespread across Europe, Asia, and North Africa, inhabiting woodlands, gardens, and urban areas. Known for their melodious and varied song, Common Blackbirds are primarily ground feeders, consuming a diet of insects, earthworms, berries, and fruits. They are also known for their adaptability and can often be seen foraging on lawns and in parks.
