Large bird with large proportions, similar in size to American robin, their legs are long and sturdy, their tail long and cocked up, their bill is long and slightly downcurved and their eyes are yellow, which make their look quite imposing, something that corresponds to their actual aggressive behavior when it comes to defend their nest. They will attack species as large as humans._x000D_ _x000D_ The brown thrasher is bright reddish-brown above with thin, dark streaks on its buffy underparts. Both sexes are similar in appearance, and the juvenile appearance of the brown thrasher from the adult is not remarkably different, except for plumage texture. Males are exuberant singers, with one of the largest repertoires of any North American songbird. They also mimic other species in their song, emitting a complex chain of paired phrases._x000D_ _x000D_ Although this bird is widespread and still common, it has declined in numbers in some areas due to loss of suitable habitat (they tend to live in woodland edges, thickets, and dense brush)._x000D_ _x000D_ As a curiosity, Brown Thrashers are the largest common host of parasitic Brown-headed Cowbirds.
