The name Thrush (Grive) is given to the species 

 marked with black or brown spots. We have few of 

 them in Europe altogether brown on the back and the 

 breast spotted. They are singing birds and live on 

 insects, and are gregarious in large flocks. They are 

 good eating. 



The Missel Thrush, T. Viscwoms, Enl. 489. Frisch 25. 



is the largest of them, the under part of the wings is 

 black ; this species feeds much on the mistletoe, and 

 contributes to spread this parasitical plant. 



The Fieldfare, T. Pilaris, Frisch 26. 



is distinguishable from the last by the ashy tint of the 

 upper part of the head and of the neck. 



The Thrush, properly so called, T. Musicus, Enl. 406. 



Frisch 27. 



has the under part of the wings yellow. This is the 

 best singer and is the most eaten. 



The Red Wing Thrush, T. Iliacus, Enl. 51. Frisch 28. 

 is the smallest, and has the under part of the wings 

 and the flanks red. 



The foreign species of this genus are very numerous.
