The Eurasian Blackbird, also known as the Common Blackbird, is a medium-sized songbird that can be found throughout Europe, Asia, and North Africa. They typically measure 9-10 inches in length and weigh between 2-4 ounces, with males being slightly larger than females. These birds have a distinctive black plumage, bright yellow eye-ring, and a yellow beak. Their males have a striking orange-yellow beak while the females have a darker, duller beak.

One of the most distinctive features of the Eurasian Blackbird is their melodious song. They are known for their beautiful and varied songs, which can be heard throughout the year. They are also often seen foraging on the ground for insects, worms, and berries.

Eurasian Blackbirds are generally resident in their breeding areas but some populations will migrate short distances to avoid the coldest winters. Those birds that do migrate will often travel southwards to warmer areas of Europe and North Africa. They typically begin migrating in October and November, and return to their breeding areas in March and April.

During the breeding season, male Eurasian Blackbirds defend their territory with their beautiful singing and fierce displays, while the female builds her nest in a dense bush or tree. The female lays a clutch of four to five eggs, which she incubates for about two weeks. Once the chicks hatch, both parents will work together to feed and care for them until they fledge after about two weeks.

Eurasian Blackbirds are widespread and abundant throughout their range, and their populations are considered stable. They are a popular subject of study for bird watchers and scientists alike, and their beautiful song and striking appearance make them a welcome sight for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts all over the world.
