Males are black, females and immature Blackbirds are brown. Once a bird starts to replace feathers from the original set, it is no longer considered to be a juvenile, so the collective term 'immature' is used to describe any bird younger than adult. A juvenile is an immature bird, but an immature bird is not necessarily a juvenile.
