our native Singdrossel is somewhat smaller than the blackbird, sees, however, the blackbird-female very similarly, however.

Habitat Originally the Singdrossel was a forest-bird, however it immigrated into the green-belts of the cities with us meanwhile and, to find in the same habitat consequently, like the blackbird.

Nutrition Singdrosseln live from insects, worms and snails, but also from berries, Sämereien and green plant-sharing. Shells are hurled on certain stones, shatter until it and release its soft content. One calls "snail-smithy" such stones, about which the shells gather in the course of time.

Reproduction From April to June, two broods take place: The female builds a deep, bowl-shaped nest to it. It becomes with chewed up indoors, one-salivated wood, that forms a durable peel after drying, from-dressed. The female also hatches the 4-5 sky-blue, black-spotted eggs alone. The boys slip after 13-14 days and leave the nest after further 14 days.
