A Passerine, or perching bird, the robin is a thrush, Turdus Migratorius.
Among other things, they have been seen to take snails, then go to a stone and hold shells in beak and smash open shells on stone.
Well, honey, a thrush might dabble in some aphids if it's feeling peckish, but they're more into gobbling up insects like worms, beetles, and caterpillars. So, technically, yes, a thrush can snack on aphids, but it's not their go-to meal.
Digging up hedges takes away the bird's home and poisoning snails takes away their food.
Yes but usally not usally They eat worms why couse they like it
Snails and Slugs.
Thrush birds do not eat caterpillars because they are too big for them to handle. Thrush birds mainly eat worms, snails, and very small insects. ************************************************* Members of the Thrush family are omnivorous, eating caterpillars, and invertebrates, especially earthworms and snails, as well as soft fruit and berries.
Because the song thrush eat snails and things that live in hedges ,so poisoning snails and cutting down hedges wont help the song thrush to survive.
Song thrushes eat snails, earthworms various fruits and berries and other such things. Young thrush's in particular are fed snails, slugs and insect larvae. Poisoning the snails means that the song thrush's in turn can be poisoned. It also means that there are less snails for the thrushes to eat. Bushes are needed as this is where the song thrush nests. Removing the bushes will also destroy the habitat of the myriad creatures it feeds on as well as reducing the amount of fruits and berries available.
Birds such as chickens, geese and ducks eat snails. Some wading birds such as ibises, brolgas, cranes and even some spoonbills eat snails. Some songbirds, such as the thrush, eat snails, as long as their size allows for it, and some of these birds have even learnt how to crush a snail's shell.
That depends which thrush you are talking about. Robins are members of the thrush family. The thrush family ranges in size from 0.75oz to 6.3oz. The American robin is around 2.7oz.
