- The blue bonnet is a bird with a blue patch on his head and if you go near the nest when there are young one in it they would peck you.
The blue bonnet cannot sing and it builds its nest in a pump or in a hole in the well.
The thrush builds her nest in a tree or hedge she lays blue eggs with brown spots and if you go near the nest she will fly up in the air and try and light on your head and peck, peck at your eyes.
The thrush is a grand singer and it sings till nine o'clock in the summer's evenings.
