The robin bird is often associated with the first signs of spring because it is usually first spotted after spring rains plucking worms out from residential yards.
A quick description of the robin bird
The robin bird is a brown bird that is known for its rosy red chest. Though the robin bird’s chest isn’t a particularly bright red, it’s a unique marking that is helpful when distinguishing the robin bird from other backyard birds. The robin bird has a black head and black markings on their throat, though most people don’t notice these physical characteristics because they’re attracted by the red belly.
The male robin bird is more colorful than the female robin bird. This is common in bird species. Males are typically more colorful because the more attractive they are, the better their chances are of finding a mate.
The color of the robin bird also varies with the bird’s habitat. The robin bird that lives in the west tends to be duller than the robin bird that lives in the Northern Pacific areas.
Breeding
Another common characteristic of the robin bird is the bright blue eggs that the bird lays. The robin bird tends to make neat nests in circular shaped nests. The robin bird then lays teal, spotted eggs in the nest. Robin bird egg shells are frequently found beneath pine trees in late spring after the babies have hatched.
The female robin bird is a very busy bird. As soon as her young fly from one nest, she starts sitting on another nest. When the young robin birds leave the nest, they go hang out in a communal roost with male robin birds. These roosting areas are kind of like an open door mission. The male robin bird stays there, then the young bird joins the roost and then the female will join the family.
Some neat things about the robin bird
The robin bird changes its diet based on the time of day. The robin bird loves worms and will eat them in the morning and then move on to fruit as the day heats up and the earthworms disappear beneath the earth. The robin bird has great eye sight and can actually see the earthworms from a distance.
The robin bird is falsely considered to be a spring bird because it’s usually seen picking worms out of the yard in the spring time. However, the robin bird lives in a large flock in the wintertime and spends time with the robin colony during the cold months.
