Haha! Poor amiga. I must admit I have never heard of a blackbird doing that before. Blackbirds generally eat worms, insects and various fruits, like cherries. I had a cheery tree before and they would eat the cherries then poo on my car. Really messed up the paint work. As you said, females are usually brown, as are the young, and do most of the nest building which consists of dried grasses, moss, twigs and roots and lined with dried grass and mud. I can't imagine that your toe looks like a worm or twig

Really fascinating that it went for the middle toe on both occasions!
