FORAGING BEHAVIOR FEATURES OF THE BLACKBIRD TURDUS MERULA L. AND FIELDFARE TURDUS PILARIS L. (TURDIDAE, PASSERIFORMES)

The foraging behavior of the Blackbird and Fieldfare in the city of Kaliningrad was studied. A similarity of the feeding habitats used by thrushes is noted. The main type of fodder stations during the reproductive period are lawns with low vegetable cover, rare-fied as a result of human influence, while these are squares and gardens with fruit bushes and trees during the autumn and winter period. The use of fodder stations and fodder objects of anthropogenic origin is noted for the blackbird out of its period of re-production.
