 Thrush (bird) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Thrushes, family Turdidae, are a group of passerine birds that occur mainly but not exclusively in the Old World.
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 and Hathaway, Thrushes (2000), and retains the large thrushes in Turdidae.

 The Cocoa Tree: Cocoa & Biodiversity: Benefits of Sustainable Cocoa Growing
Cocoa trees grown in conjunction with native trees provide almost as much habitat for wildlife as natural rainforest.
COCOA AGROFORESTS provide biodiversity and are a more natural part of the rainforest environment.
Cocoa trees can play a positive and important role in preserving the native tropical forests and encouraging farmers to regenerate deforested areas.

In fact, every morning, either a Cocoa Thrush or a Bare-Eyed Thrush would sing beautifully outside our window.
We spent the day exploring the grounds of the one-time coffee and cocoa plantation, where these trees and many tasty fruits continue to thrive.
It would be hard to pick one highlight on a day that involved two Trogon species, a flycatcher chasing our first Channel-Billed Toucan in front of us, the male Tufted Coquette, and the sight of the White-Bearded Manakins dancing at their lek.

 BIRDCHAT archives -- May 1999, week 3 (#32)
In fact because of the unusually rainy winter in the Caribbean, the Doves were calling early this year.....we were lucky even to have heard them since they often do not call much in a normal dry season.
Note that the dump is going to be closed and the abandoned farm area on the north side of the bowl (immediately north of the current dump and across the road) is being converted to a sanitary landfill.
Eventually a Cocoa Thrush walked along the trail just before a group of hostile German tourists passed us...It pays to bird forest trails early.

Bananaquits, Cocoa Thrush, Green Honeycreepers, and Silver-beaked Tanagers all made an appearance before the hummers.
On the way back up the discovery trail, a White-necked Thrush was seen walking along the trail and several people that were bringing up the rear got to see a Golden-olive Woodpecker.
Our lunch was first interrupted by a Streaked-headed Woodcreeper that flew into the tree under which we were eating and then by a pair of rare Saffron Finch, which look similar to the Yellow Warbler which had just created a false alarm by flying right by us.

 Birdwatching Trip Report from Trinidad and Tobago

Deeper into the forest there are White-necked and Yellow-legged Thrushes, Venezualan Flycatcher, Plain Antvireo, the stupendously iridescent Rufous-tailed Jacamar, which glistens like a gem in the forest filtered sunlight and Rufous-breasted Hermit, the tenth species of hummer from this trip.
We watch a Stripe-breasted Spinetail building its nest, and then Gladwin points out a domed nest hanging from a vine cord, next to the trail, which is visited by an Ochre-bellied Flycatcher, that feeds a gaping mouth inside.
