Robins

Please see the related link below, to listen to a European robin singing.

You can draw and cut, in cardboard or wood, the silhouette of a hawk or an owl, paint it in black and hang it from a high point. That will scare birds away, it is a method used at airfields with success.

I am pretty sure the genus is Turdus and the species is rebecula. So that would make the binomial nomenclature T. rebecula

The Road Runner can run for a longer period of time whereas Speedy Gonzales can run faster but for shorter periods of time . (It depends upon the opponent because the two are faster than their antagonist .)

I think they can go 2 - 3 days. That is only MY guess. A baby robin wouldn't survive that long...

Albania

usually winter, but they do seem to pop up in the winter-European Robins (Erithacus rubecula)

American Robins, always come out during the start of spring.

Yes, they do. They typically lay 4 eggs, one each day.

yes

Yes you can!

4 years ago I found a fledgling Robin in my yard. It could barely hop and I was afraid it would get eaten by the many stray cats in my neighborhood. I didn't have a cage so I built a makeshift cage out of wire mesh and used a leg off an old pair of sweats wrapped around to look like a nest. I went on line and found that Robins can be fed with watered down dog food and served on an end of a chopstick. By this time I named the bird Junior. Never knew its sex but it was my baby boy regerdless! The first couple days were the hardest because JR did not trust me and would make these peeping sound like he wanted his mother. I kept the cage out side in case the mother would come for him but it never happened. After about 4 days JR started to rely on me and look for his food when I came to him. Just like in the photos we have all seen he would sit in his nest and open his mouth to get his food. I would get an eye droper and give him a little water making sure it did not get in his nostrals. JR by rough estimate was 11 days old when I found him and at about day14 he was getting pretty limber. He would perch on my finger and try to fly. He could go from my back yard table to the tree there and flutter from branch to branch. I would get nervous when he would go to high and found myself calling him back. Funny how it is that I wanted him to suvive on his own and now I'm like mother robin scoping out his every move. I use to trick him to come back by tapping on the side of the bowl I would feed him from. Yes he had his own bowl. One day about when he was 18-19 days old he just flew high into the tree and never came down. I tried to trick him back but he left for good. So sad but at the same time happy. 2 years went buy and one day a robin was on my fence looking at me in the back yard. I remembered JR had this distinct beak with a bump on it and I thought it was him. I went inside and got his bowl. Yes I kept it! I tapped on it calling Junior and the Robin flew to me and landed on the back yard table. It stood a minuite and flew off. I think it was him telling me he was Ok. Important stuff! Feed your baby 3 mouthfulls from 8:00am to 9:00pm. That's in a perfect world. I would get up in the morning and feer JR until he refused food. I'd come home from work and follow the 1 hour schedule. After all not every mother Robin got food for that schedule. I eventually graduated to worms and JR was a glutton. Good luk to you and your Baby Robin

The ones I watched under our deck this summer did not.

Hi. I've had two similar experiences in the past & it's happening again. In 2005, a robin kept at it for 2-3 weeks. I had two dogs then. One became ill & passed. In 2007, a robin again. The other became ill & passed. I recently adopted another dog and oddly enough, a robin has been here. Well after a visit from the Vet the other day, this dog was diagnosed with cancer. Coincidence? Scary if you ask me.

Cooked rice, brown or white (without salt added) is beneficial and readily accepted by all species during severe winter weather. Uncooked rice may be eaten by birds such as pigeons, doves and pheasants but is less likely to attract other species

The American Robin:

1. Builds a nest in less than 1 week.

2. Lays a clutch of eggs and incubates them for 12 to 14 days.

3. New borns stay in nest 14 to 16 days, until first flight.

4. Male will feed young for up to 2 weeks additionally,

5. Female will start a 2nd nest after the young Fledge.

They huddle together for warmth, but if Mom's gone too long or it's too cold, they're in trouble.

Not a I know of. They're resident birds.

The robins in northern states move to more southerly locations in winter. Birds from states in the northeast move down to the mid Atlantic states.

After hatching they are pale, bony, and small- on day 2 they have small white furs and tiny beaks.

Within perhaps a weak or two they will learn to fly. Some robins have a harder time learning to fly than others, and babies that are just learning may have a hard time balancing either on telephone wires, fences, and in the air.

baby Robins eat 3-4 times a day. Robins they mostly eat berries and small peices of fruit.

they also like insects and the insects larva, caterpillars, and grasshoppers

The eggshell comes from pigments in the mothers blood. They are also members of the thrush family and most thrushes lay blue eggs. Also the type of the tree that the mothers lay their eggs is the exact same color the eggs are. So that means it will help the eggs camouflage so predators will not eat the mothers babies.

They most certainly do. Witnessed it at the lake edge. The robin ate and ate and ate. Quite fun to watch!

what do you do when your baby robin is dying?

I believe that the exact number of feathers varies. According to Muppets' costumer, Michelle Hickey, the feathers are replaced every two weeks, or after Big Bird appears at an event. The feathers are hand glued onto a ribbon, which is hand stitched onto the costume. I doubt they actually count the feathers, especially since feathers are usually bought and sold by weight.

well they can bite with their beak, peck, and tweet loudly to say stay away
