The most famous American species of thrush is the American robin, but European robins are flycatchers, not thrushes.
Scissor-tail flycatcher is a Robin? OK.
In the 1920’s my grandparents had some French neighbors.
My Dad would tell the story that in the fall around the oat shocks.
The neighbor man would ground shoot flocks of robins.
Then is wife would bake them into meat pies.
You know 4 and 20 black birds baked into a pie.
Or such.
