Silent Night

Q: Do blackbirds listen or look for their food?

A: The blackbirds use their vision to find food, not their ears. Although they can probably see a bit at night, like you and me, they rely on eyesight to find their food and, of course, they are active in daylight and sleep at night. Thanks for your question.
