The thrushes are a family Turdidae of passerine birds with a worldwide distribution. The family was once much larger before the subfamily Saxicolinae which includes the chats and European robins was split out and moved to the Old World flycatchers. The thrushes are small to medium-sized ground living birds that feed on insects other invertebrates and fruit. A number of unrelated species around the world have been named after thrushes due to their similarity to birds in this family.

Thrushes are plump soft-plumaged small to medium-sized birds inhabiting wooded areas and often feed on the ground. The smallest thrush may be the forest rock thrush at 21 g and 14.5 cm. However, the shortwings which have ambiguous alliances with both thrushes and Old World flycatchers can be even smaller. The lesser shortwing averages 12 cm. The largest thrush is the blue whistling thrush at 178 g and 33 cm. The great thrush is similar in length but less heavily built. Most species are grey or brown in colour often with speckled underparts.

They are insectivorous but most species also eat worms land snails and fruit. Many species are permanently resident in warm climates while others migrate to higher latitudes during summer often over considerable distances.

Thrushes build cup-shaped nests sometimes lining them with mud. They lay two to five speckled eggs sometimes laying two or more clutches per year. Both parents help in raising the young.
