The species Turdus pilaris, commonly known as the Fieldfare, is native to the Palearctic region. It is primarily found across Europe and parts of Asia. Its geographical distribution includes countries such as Norway, Sweden, Finland, and extends eastward into Siberia. During the winter, Fieldfares migrate to southern parts of Europe, reaching as far as Northern Africa and the Middle East.

Fieldfares typically inhabit open woodlands, farmlands, and suburban areas. They prefer regions with scattered trees or shrubs, particularly during the breeding season. The species thrives in temperate climates, where the environment provides a mix of open grounds for foraging and wooded areas for nesting.

The Fieldfare is an omnivorous bird, feeding on a varied diet that includes insects, earthworms, and berries. Its ecological niche involves playing a role in seed dispersal, particularly for berry-producing plants. Fieldfares are adaptable to different environments, including both natural and human-altered landscapes, allowing them to inhabit a wide range of conditions across their native range.
