Robins
With three different types of birds sharing the common name 'robin' and none of them being closely related to one another, this songbird can be a little tough to sort out. North American Robins, which belong to the thrush family and were named Robins for their resemblance to the European Robin, are native to parts of Canada and most of the contiguous United States. Known for being a sign of spring, these birds are a welcome sight to many in North America. The European Robin (also called the 'true robin'), which is part of the flycatcher family, is found all across Europe and even into Western Siberia and Northern Africa. European Robins are associated with the Christmas holiday but can also be found in British and French folklore. And last but certainly not least, there are the Australasian Robins. These little birds belong to the genus Petroicidae and can be found in Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and on many Pacific islands.
500 Questions
Can you do anything about a dove taking over a robins nest?
Asked by Wiki User
I know that it sounds mean for a dove to take over a robin's nest, but it really is not. The dove needs a nest, too, and may not know how to build one. It is easy for the robin to build a new nest, and lay new eggs, too, if needed.
It is always better to not mess with nature - we usually wind up causing far more trouble than not.
Do robins eat grapes?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, robins eat grubs in great numbers. I observed a robin collecting 3 or more grubs at once before flying to the nest to feed young. That robin collected grubs from sun up to sun down, so they are an important factor in grub control .

In the American robin, birds from northern climes migrate to southern states. Birds in the south only withdraw in the coldest winters. That is why wintering robin flocks are so huge in the Carolinas and other states in the south, numbering in the thousands.

What do you do if the baby robins do not open their mouths to eat the baby rice cereal?
Asked by Wiki User
I'm nursing a baby robin myself right now that I found blown out of a tree after a really bad storm. At first the robin didn't want to open when offered food, but I tried to feed it in a quiet, empty room and when I approached I blew a little air over the chick to simulate the mother returning to the nest. Took a few tries but he eventually started opening and chirping for the food. Now I don't have to do it at all, if he spots me anywhere close he raises up and chirps to be fed. They are actually pretty good at recognizing faces and quickly associate yours with food. Hope this helps.

What is the Irish robins lifespan?
Asked by Wiki User
Just over one (1) year is the expected lifespan of an Irish robin (Erithacus rubecula melophilus).
Specifically, the first year of existence is the most dangerous for a robin. If a robin can survive that first perilous year, then the lifespan may range from a couple to 10+ years of existence. It depends upon the numbers and agility of predators in the parks and gardens that the Irish robin tends to call home.
