The song thrush is a common bird in much of Europe and Asia. It is found in a variety of habitats including woodlands, parks, gardens and hedgerows. It is an omnivore and its diet includes insects, fruits and berries. The song thrush is a territorial bird and will defend its territory from other song thrushes and other bird species. It is a monogamous species and pairs mate for life. The female builds the nest in a tree or bush, and lays four or five eggs. The eggs are incubated for about two weeks and the chicks fledge from the nest after about three weeks.
The song thrush is a popular garden bird and is often encouraged to visit by providing bird feeders and bird baths. It is a shy bird and will often hide in the undergrowth when disturbed. However, it can be quite tame around humans and may even take food from the hand.
