Robin on Post Mug

A little baby robin eyeing up a tasty treat below him. The European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) is a charming bird, common throughout Europe. Its bright orange-red breast and gentle warbling song make it easily recognisable but it remains an elusive, shy bird throughout much of its range. Yet in Great Britain the robin has made a friendly pact with gardeners and backyard birdwatchers alike and the species is tamer there than it is throughout the rest of its range.

Robin

Today we associate robins with Christmas, and the bird always appears on Christmas cards. A common explanation is that the Victorian postmen who delivered Christmas cards wore red uniforms, and were nicknamed "robin redbreasts". So people associated receiving their cards with robins. The truth is probably much simpler, for the robin is most visible at Christmas, when its bright red breast, which the bird puffs out to keep warm, brings colour to drab surroundings, and the male begins to sing loudly to attract a mate. It is also in the depths of winter, when insect food is scarce, that robins are most tame. So robins have always been as much a part of the Christmas scene as snow and holly.The UK's favourite bird - with its bright red breast it is familar throughout the year and especially at Christmas! Males and females look identical, and young birds have no red breast and are spotted with golden brown. Robins sing nearly all year round and despite their cute appearance, they are aggressively territorial and are quick to drive away intruders. They will sing at night next to street lights.

Each year robins build nests underneath our balconies, and in spring we have many chirping birds and mamma robins collecting worms from our garden. This baby robin had just fallen out of its nest (or been pushed out?) and couldn't yet fly. We picked it up and moved it out of harm's way into taller grass so it wouldn't be preyed on.

Baby robin birds are a cute way to celebrate spring and early summer. Sometimes you even find a nest in your own backyard. However, Mama Robin will want to keep you away from her baby birds. These cute robin babies were cheeping for their moma when I found them. I'm sure they had a yummy worm meal soon after.
