Introduced to countries Worldwide these songsters of the Spring
The male a glossy black feathered bird the mostly silent female a plain mottled brown
In their range in south east Australia they frequent backyards in village, city and town
In cup shaped nest in hedge or bush the female green spotted eggs does lay
Well camouflaged out of sight and well hidden away
The male a lovely singer is loved and well known
Of the turdus thrush family with a charm of their own
Though in Spring and early Summer them singing one does often hear
The males are mostly silent for eight months of the year
The flute like song of the blackbird melodious and clear
Bring memories of the homeland Spring to the migrant person near
One of the best loved songsters in Countries Worldwide
Of town parks and gardens and backyards of the countryside.
