Says The Life of Birds: “Blackbirds descended from those that were taken to Australia during the nineteenth century to gladden the ears of European settlers with sounds of home, now have very distinct Australian accents. ”
The Life of Birds teikts: ” Mājas strazdi, kuru priekštečus 19. gadsimtā uz Austrāliju atveda eiropiešu kolonisti, lai tie priecētu viņu ausis ar dzimtās puses skaņām, tagad dzied ar skaidri saklausāmu austrāliešu akcentu. ”
