The Blackbird [duchas:4599740]
From the very name of this bird we know that it is black. The blackbird has a yellow bill and yellow legs. This bird builds her nest in a close white thorn bush. The blackbird lays about four or five blue eggs in the nest and brings out her young birds. It sings a sweet song.
