Repetitive Genius:
Song Thrushes are known for repeating phrases in their song, often three times in a row. This habit is a key identifier.
Mimicry Masters:
While not as famous as the Lyrebird, Song Thrushes are skilled mimics and incorporate sounds from their environment into their songs, including other birds, and sometimes even man-made sounds.
Versatile Vocalists: They have a wide repertoire of songs and calls, each with its own meaning, from attracting a mate to warning of danger. They can even sing two different notes at the same time!
Early Bird: Song Thrushes are often among the first birds to sing in the morning and the last to sing at dusk. Their songs can be heard almost year-round, adding music to even the coldest winter days.
Anvil Action: Song Thrushes have a clever way of getting to the food inside snails. They repeatedly smash snails against a hard surface, often a stone they use as an "anvil," to break the shell open.
