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.

Why do robins fly into windows?
Not all naturally occurring phenomenon can or should be interpreted as an omen. I am inclined to take this particular behaviour as one such.
In spring, during the mating season, male robins are extremely territorial. I is not uncommon for them to attack one another by pecking, jumping forward with extended wings and other such displays.
Glazing balls, and any other reflective surface in a robin's territory get the same treatment, as they believe the reflection is another male.
At certain times during the day the light conditions are such that windows become reflective surfaces and the robin, seeing a competitor for his territory will peck at the window.
To eliminate this behavior, put something between the robin and the window glass, screening works well, however, you can use cardboard or a scrap of wood if the window is at ground level. This need not be left for long, the behaviour usually lasts about a week, two at the most.
How does an American Robin adapt to its environment?
The robin is found in woodlands, parks, suburban lawns, orchards.

The Death of Robin Hood
One of the famous stories of Robin's death goes like this:
It was nearly evening when Robin Hood and Little John (one of Robin's merry men) were returning from a hunt when Robin started to feel sick and fever quickly took over. Robin then asked Little John to take him to the Kirklees Priory where his cousin the prioress worked.
When Robin Hood arrived at the Priory Gatehouse he was taken up stairs to a private room. The prioress then opened up one of Robins veins and left him alone in till the next evening. On the way out prioress locked the door no one knows why she did it may of been because she cared for him or for some other reason. When Robin Hood was in his weak state Sir Roger of Donkestere (who may have been in love prioress) climbed through the window and stabbed Robin Hood in the arm. Robin Hood then swang his sword and beheaded Roger in one swing. Robin now dying from Exanguinating Haemorrhage grabbed his horn and blew 3 times for Little John who was waiting in the forest for news of his master. John under stood this and barged through the doors of the Gatehouse panicking because he could tell that Robin Hood was in a weak state because of how weak he blew in the horn. When he reached Robins room he saw that Robin was dying and said that he would burn down the Gatehouse and kill all the nuns that were in the gatehouse at the same time. Robin told John not to because he had never harmed a woman in his life. Robin asked John to pass him his bow and that he would shoot it out the window and were ever it landed John would need to bury Robin. After Robin shoot the arrow that travelled 594 meters Robin died. John then left to complete his master's last command.

What paint is suitable for a metal bird bath?
You shouldn't need one. Frost-proof materials are far more important. If you must seal it, pick one that is sold as safe for sealing drinking water tanks - there are many based on rubber latex and/or bitumen emulsion.
Robins are birds. Birds, like all vertebrates, have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
How do you give a robin water?
put water in your hand and let it drip on the beak and let it drink but little by little
It is quite likely that another species of bird threw the chicks out of the nest hoping to either claim the nest themselves or lay new eggs and have the robin hen take over the duties of an absent mother. Had it been a predator the chicks would have been eaten.
Sometimes babies birds are found dead right under the nest on the ground. 1~ Sometimes it's because the babies weren't being cautious 2~ or the father went off to find worms and the mother was watching the babies. While in that situation, the mother was distracted by some humans and swooped out of the nest to scare them away and the hatchlings fell out. 3~ or the babies were born too soon and died shortly after so the parents had to get rid of all of them If 2, they were in a tight and rare situation. If 3, they nested in a different spot probably because they didn't think the other spot was safe.

It is unlikely that Robins eat fat balls. In all the years I have had fat balls in the garden for the wild birds I have not seen a Robin pecking at them.
What does it mean when a robin flies into a house?
It could mean that the bird likes you, or sees something its attracted to like a house plant, and it could be trying to nest in there too. I used to have a pigeon come in my house every time I left windows open and it even tried laying eggs in my house plants. You just gotta keep your windows closed, man. The truth is you can get really sick off of bird feces and dander especially in an urban environment when you don't know where the poor fellow has been.

Why does a robin attack a red puppet hung from a washing line?
Robins are among a handful of birds who are going to attack anything as a warning that the subject is in the bird's territory which may or may not include a nest of eggs or hatchlings. Why a red puppet? It is seen as a threat by the bird.
If this problem is in your yard, please keep in mind that all native birds are protected under the Wildlife Act 1975 (Canada and similar laws in other countries) listing penalties for harassing or injuring native wildlife. It is illegal to kill birds, interfere with their nest or to remove the next without a permit or authority. Contact the local Forestry Office, Extension Service, Park Ranger or Pest Control facility of help in removing the offending birds.
