This is one of the most colorful and charming birds, attracting not only their mates but also making nature photographers crazy.
On the high branches of trees at the edge of the forest, or near coastal areas with soft sandy soil, the Thrushes gather in small groups.
Mating season begins with elaborate and colorful courtship displays. Male birds hunt for prey – winged insects such as bees, butterflies, and dragonflies – and bring them back to the female.
It is not only a material gift but also a sincere and passionate confession. When the female bird accepts, the couple begins to enter the nesting stage.
Unlike many other birds that nest in trees, the Thrush chooses to dig a burrow in the sand – a task that requires coordination and patience. They take turns using their characteristic curved beaks to dig deep into the soil slope, creating a 1-2 meter long burrow where they will raise their eggs and chicks.
The love of the Catbird is not only romantic but also full of challenges. To maintain their nesting territory, they do not hesitate to fight with other couples who encroach on their chosen area.
Chasing, charging into each other in the air or pinning each other to tree branches are common during the breeding season.
The ingenuity, beauty and devotion of the Thrush in its quest for survival is a wonderful testament to the wonders of nature.
In Da Nang – where nature still retains its pristine corners – images of pairs of lovebirds, hunting, digging burrows and protecting their nests are becoming an attractive highlight for nature lovers and photographers.
