The blackbird is a common sight in many urban parks and suburban gardens, known for its glossy black plumage and bright yellow eye ring.
With its melodious song, the blackbird is often considered a symbol of springtime, signaling the arrival of warmer weather.
Despite its name, the male blackbird's plumage can appear more brownish-black, while the female tends to have a duller, brown coloring.
Blackbirds are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of foods including insects, fruits, seeds, and even small vertebrates.
