Because life loves diversity, Blackbirds, Redwings and other thrushes exercise a flexible strategy, being either passive or active anters as the occasion or some unknown need takes them.
Alongside the obvious thrushes are the blackbirds, fieldfare, redwing and some robins. Members, including at least one common garden species, are to be found on every continent except Antarctica.
