The gray-cheeked thrush (Catharus minimus) is a medium-sized thrush.This species is 15–17 cm (5.9–6.7 in) in length, and has the white-dark-white underwing pattern characteristic of Catharus thrushes.
The song thrush was described by German ornithologist Christian Ludwig Brehm in 1831, and still bears its original scientific name, Turdus philomelos. [3] The generic name, Turdus, is the Latin for thrush, and the specific epithet refers to a character in Greek mythology, Philomela, who had her tongue cut out, but was changed into a singing bird.
The largest thrush is the great thrush at 128 to 175 g (4 + 1 ⁄ 2 to 6 + 1 ⁄ 8 oz) and 28 to 33 cm (11 to 13 in); the larger, commonly recognized blue whistling thrush is an Old world flycatcher. [1] The Amami thrush might, however, grow larger than the great thrush. Most species are grey or brown in colour, often with speckled underparts.
The varied thrush is a fairly large thrush species. It can range from 20 to 26 cm (7.9 to 10.2 in) in length and can span 34 to 42 cm (13 to 17 in) across the wings. Body mass can vary from 65 to 100 g (2.3 to 3.5 oz).
The common blackbird (Turdus merula) is a species of true thrush.It is also called the Eurasian blackbird (especially in North America, to distinguish it from the unrelated New World blackbirds), [2] or simply the blackbird where this does not lead to confusion with a similar-looking local species.
Candidiasis is a fungal infection due to any species of the genus Candida (a yeast). [4] When it affects the mouth, in some countries it is commonly called thrush. [3] Signs and symptoms include white patches on the tongue or other areas of the mouth and throat. [3]
John James Audubon's picture depicting ferruginous thrush. The brown thrasher has been observed either solo or in pairs. The brown thrasher is usually an elusive bird, and maintains its evasiveness with low-level flying. [30] [31] When it feels bothered, it usually hides into thickets and gives cackling calls. [31]
