- I believe that all birds are migratory.
The Blackbirds and Thrushes leave this country about August + go East probably across to England. A few years ago there was a dreadful storm of wind + rain and thousands of these birds were found dead around the Tuscar lighthouse. They were very scarce around here, for a long time after that.I have watched and studied the habits of birds for years + I believe that there is some connection between birds and the birthplace of Christ. They all move east + south anyway at the end of the Summer.
