馃 The fieldfare (Turdus pilaris)
馃摎 Turdus (lat) - Thrush
馃摎 pilaris the etymology is mysterious, although it is now believed that pilaris in later Latin means simply thrush (Jobling, 2017). However, since lat. "pilus" hair, pilare to remove hair, but pila ball, pilaris anything related to ball, and pilarius is a juggler (and at the same time, the Greek "trikhos" is hair, and "trikhas" is a thrush!), all this puzzling. Two assumptions arise. First: when the fieldfare in summer, how usually pulls earthworms out of the ground, this can be associated with hair removal (pilare). Second: when in autumn and winter the fieldberry picks rowan berries and throws them up, swallows, it may resemble a juggler (pilarius).
It is very easy to see these birds in spring, moreover, there are a lot of them in forests and even parks. They roam the dry last year's foliage and pull worms out of the ground, which are their favorite food. But after the mating season, these birds become shy and inconspicuous.
But when they have babies and they grow up and fly out of the nest, then these birds can be observed again. But this must be done with caution.
And for young thrushes, as for example, kites may be interested in you, who will be interested in what you are looking at there.
And also for themselves, because thrushes are aggressive birds, and they will protect their offspring. They will raid and bombard you with their droppings馃挬. Moreover, thrushes have a kind of brotherhood, and they are always ready to help each other, and I mean not only this kind of thrushes, but others species can also help them in this.
