The Spectacled Thrush is 23–24 cm long and weighs 60 g. It is plain olive-brown above and paler brown below. The throat is brown-streaked off-white, and the lower belly is whitish. It has a prominent yellow eye ring which gives rise to its English and scientific names.

This is a destructive bird, and eat all fruits even green ones.

Living in an apartment for three years. Woke this morning and this bird was outside my window knocking relentlessly to enter, literally 5mins and 3 attempts.

This bird has been flying into my window about a month now. Based on everyone else's comments, I guess it's a habit. Maybe they're attacking their own reflection.

We just saw this beautiful bird foraging on the ground, west side of Grenada before sunset which is usually dominated by doves and bananaquit melodies!

Are there any folklore stories and warnings about these birds?

This bird is a bit territorial and chances are that they may be attacking their reflection. They are survivors, omnivorous.
