Young Starlings may look like Blackbirds…
However, as an adult New Zealand Starling they look like what I have in these photos. Here is one in the thumbnail of a persimmon tree.
The Black bird here can be a Black, Black bird which is a male Black bird and the brown Black bird is a female Blackbird or it could be a juvenile Black bird.
I once mistook a Black bird for a Thrush and I was completely wrong.
Every country has different types of Starlings, Blackbirds and Thrushes and so that is OK.
Your photos are special, and should be shared. My mother loves to learn about birds. I will have to show her this post. Just awesome!
Thanks so much Jenna, ……….
Lovely pictures here, enjoyed seeing them.
Thanks so much Dawn glad you like them.
Beautiful bird pictures. We also have these birds, but I can not take photos of them
Thanks Vidocka, the birds tend to know when you pick up your camera, sometimes they give me permission to take their photos.
We have these birds but there are many species all over the world. Beautiful captures of each one.
Thanks Carol, nice to know, all of these birds come from Europe I think
Nice photo!
The black bird looks like those we’ve here …
Thanks Alibb, that is good to know, interesting
Yours is such a unique eco-system. The variances in birds from the many different parts of the world are amazing.
great pictures as always!
Yes, NZ has a unique eco system and our lives are in the balance of maintaining that delicate balance
Thanks Doc.
Beautiful birds, Really awesome
Thanks so much Witty Feeds
Thanks for watching and educating us on how the birds looks like!
thanks so much Docxdri, for the visit to this site…
I meant to say, if you can put submit your own Blackbirds, Starling or Thrush, please feel free to do so.
I did not suppose these birds are in New Zealand!!!
They are definitely European species.
Apparently they were transferred from the settlers.
Thanks Georgi, yes, these birds did come from settlers from Europe, none of these are native to New Zealand.
Thanks so much Lado for your kind comments
