What is the function of the nostrils?
Nostrils are one of the ways that air is taken into the lungs, it is just through the nose rather than the mouth. Hairs in your nostrils filter dirt from the air. Air taken in through the nostrils also passes by smell receptors (olfactory receptors), which allows you to get chemical information about your environment.

Does a robin breathe with gills?
During the first inspiration, the air travels through the nostrils, also called nares, of a bird, which are located at the junction between the top of the upper beak and the head. The fleshy tissue that surrounds them, in some birds, is called the cere. As in mammals, air moves through the nostrils into the nasal cavity. From there it passes through the larynx and into the trachea. Air moves through the trachea to the syrinx, which is located at the point just before the trachea divides in two. It passes through the syrinx and then the air stream is divided in two as the trachea divides. The air does not go directly to the lung, but instead travels to the caudal (posterior) air sacs. A small amount of air will pass through the caudal air sacs to the lung. During the first expiration, the air is moved from the posterior air sacs through the ventrobronchi and dorsobronchi into the lungs. The bronchi continue to divide into smaller diameter air capillaries. Two kinds of capillaries flow side by side, in opposite directions - the air flowing caudal to cranial and the blood flowing cranial to caudal (in general). This acts as a "countercurrent exchange" mechanism. Blood capillaries flow through the air capillaries and this is where the oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. When the bird inspires the second time, the air moves to the cranial air sacs. On the second expiration, the air moves out of the cranial air sacs, through the syrinx into the trachea, through the larynx, and finally through the nasal cavity and out of the nostrils.
