The Thrushes are a group of passerine birds that occur mainly but not exclusively in the Old World.
They are plump, soft plumaged, small to medium sized insectivores or sometimes omnivores, often feeding on the ground. Many have attractive songs.
The taxonomic treatment of this large family has varied significantly in recent years. Traditionally it included the small Old World species, like the Nightingale and European Robin in the subfamily Saxicolini, but now often either that group or the whole family is now placed in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. This article follows Handbook of the Birds of the World with edits from Clement & Hathaway, Thrushes (2000), and retains the large thrushes in Turdidae. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org)
