This bird has found a great nesting place to raise its single chick here in Freising, Germany. Seen on the patio, sheltered under the eaves of the house. Neither bird minds sharing the space with humans and remain in their nest even when there’s a crowd.
We figure the only thing she didn’t count on was the amount of space needed once her brood hatched, you can see the chicks head poking out the side of the nest!
The bird is an Amsel or Black Bird, Turdus merula. The males of the species have black plumage with a bright yellow beak, while the females plumage is brown with faint spots on the breast. Black birds have one of the most beautiful song although they are known to screech at times.
