The favourite spot chosen by the missel thrush is the fork of a tree in an orchard, where lichens are large and plentiful enough to serve as a covering for the nests.

Big spikes of purple loosestrife crowned the damper clearings, and missel thrushes went out to the fields in straggling bands.

In size it is not much larger than a missel thrush.

He devours the berries eagerly, and soils, or "missels" his feet with their viscid seeds, conveying them thus from tree to tree, and getting thence the name of missel thrush.

How the missel thrushes sing, as well they may!
