What is the American Robin?
American Robin is a singer who belongs to a group of birds known as Thrushes and is the largest of the group in North America. The species is one of the most common in North America, located in every state, as in Canada and Mexico. American Robin often symbolizes the arrival of spring, because it is one of the first species that many see after the winter, although many do not have to migrate at all.
The identification of American Robin is usually a very easy task. The bird has distinctive orange breasts and gray to dark gray back. Their heads are usually dark, but women have a slightly lighter shade of head color. The bird is a comparable size with the cardinal. They have small, straight yellow beaks, suitable for their predatory and looking lifestyle.
American Robin's diet is diverse, although they generally prefer different types of insects and worms, but will also eat berries and fruits if there is no insects, for example in winter., which can make them vulnerable to predators, especially young birds who may not be as vigilant as the more mature birds. In the autumn, when the diet of the American Robin focuses more on berries, birds can even intoxicate on gaps with gaps.
Migration habits of American Robin vary depending on where the bird lives. Some may migrate, but others make up large groups in winter and spend most of their time on trees where they keep close to each other and spend very little energy, because the berries and insects are difficult to find in many places in the coldest seasons.
American Robin builds a place for her nests and then puts them from the center to the edges. Robins usually builds their nests in the lower half of the tree, close the leaves of the leaves and on horizontal branches. These nests are connected from different materials, the most likely twigs, grass and even materials that people can fromAneckete. Eggs are usually 1.1 to 1.2 inches (2.8 to 3 cm) and Robins usually lies from three to five.
Young American Robins matures very quickly, while incubation in the egg lasts approximately two weeks. Young birds remain in the nest approximately two weeks after they can go on their own. Birds have a difficult time to survive, with only 40 percent of nests successfully producing offspring and only a quarter of those birds who do it will survive until the fall.
