Thursday’s bird is the Blackbird:

Blackbird has shiny black feathers.
He has a bright yellow beak and a yellow ring round each eye.
He is about 25cm long (try looking for number 25 on a ruler).
He likes to eat worms, insects and berries.
Mrs Blackbird is not black… She is brown all over and so are young blackbirds.

Blackbirds have 3,4 or 5 babies which hatch from blue speckled eggs.  Mum and Dad feed them together:

Mrs MacLeod  once had a pet blackbird called Blackie who started coming to her doorstep every morning and evening for raisins. He loved raisins!

The Beatles wrote a lovely song called “Blackbird”. You can listen to it here. See if you can clap or tap along.
