Robins (Erithacus rubecula) are small, distinctive songbirds known for their vibrant orange-red breast and melodious song. They are widespread across woodlands, gardens, and parks, often associating with humans, particularly during winter. Their diet consists of insects, worms, fruits, and seeds, making them valuable for pest control.
Robins are highly territorial, and males sing a rich, warbling song to defend their space year-round. Unlike many songbirds, both males and females sing, especially in winter when establishing territories. They are closely linked to Christmas traditions in Europe, commonly appearing on festive cards and decorations.
