In Jamaica a robin is a tiny green bird with a red breast. In the US it is a thrush, or should that be 'blackbird'? Or are our blackbirds really thrushes?
Or are our blackbirds really thrushes? I do have a problem with the wrong species turning up in the wrong country such as the American robin in Mary Poppins.
And what about movie soundtracks where bird calls are added in, presumably for "atmosphere"? I'm always amazed to contemplate how those nonmigratory rock and willow ptarmigans made it down to the jungles of Central America... not to mention the kookaburras... Recently heard SW US canyon wrens in the deserts around Jerusalem as well. Quite astonishing.
