The Eurasian Blackbird (Turdus merula) in Pakistan is a medium-sized bird with a glossy black plumage, bright yellow eye-ring, and a distinctive yellow bill. Both males and females look alike, with males having slightly darker plumage. They are known for their melodious song, especially during breeding season.

Eurasian Blackbirds are commonly found throughout Pakistan, inhabiting a variety of habitats including forests, gardens, parks, and urban areas. They are adaptable birds and can thrive in diverse environments.

These birds are primarily omnivorous, feeding on a diet that includes insects, fruits, berries, and occasionally small vertebrates. They are often seen foraging on the ground, using their sharp bill to probe for food. Eurasian Blackbirds are territorial during the breeding season, with males defending their nesting territories vigorously. Their melodious songs serve as a means of communication and territory defense, particularly during the breeding season. Outside of the breeding season, they may form loose flocks for foraging and roosting.
