Blackbird or Thrush ?
We have a young bird (one of many) in our garden, that is clearly one of the daughters of a male blackbird. The adult male blackbird is what my wife calls 'scruffy' having feathers that look like it has been passed through a hedge backwards and with many none black / near white feathers. The male parent associates closely with its offspring and as well as showing the youngster were to find food and how to feed it occasionally feeds it himself. The young bird looks more like a thrush than a blackbird, with strong thrush like colouration to the chest and upper body but with a black tail - actually quite startling and beautiful.
Query: Do blackbirds and thrushes interbreed ? Could this be a cross ?
Do we need to start a Whatbird site? Ne xt someone will be starting a forum about his wife's menstrual cycle!!!!

That's nothing, just wait for the change. Hot flushes and sweating, sleep problems, psychological changes and osteoporosis. Makes the menstral seem like a walk in the park.

Really ? I know most different types of birds are separate species and cannot interbreed but I understood that blackbirds and thrushes were the same species, just different members of the same family.
....different members of the same family.
Nothing like kissing cousins... 
Young blackbirds do indeed look a little like a thrush... but just a little bit.

Yes, indeed, exactly the answer I needed. Thanks

Though i wonder what an eagle and a pink flamingo would look like
