Bird Facts: The European Robin
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 гру 2020
- Facts about the European Robin, one of the few birds in the UK that sings nearly all year round.
European Robins are found across Europe, into Northern Asia and North Africa, and on some Atlantic islands, such as the Canary Islands and the Azores. In the 19th century, there were unsuccessful attempts to introduce the species into Australia, New Zealand and North America.
Favoured habitats include woodlands, forests, farmland, parks and gardens. A pair of Robins will hold a joint territory during the breeding season. In autumn and winter, males and females hold individual feeding territories.
Robins defend their territory by singing but will also attack and drive off intruders. Fighting during territorial disputes is common and can lead to fatalities.
Robins sing all year round, except for late summer when they’re moulting.
They also use alarm calls to warn other birds there are predators nearby.
Adult males and females are very similar in appearance. Juveniles lack the red breast and have speckled brown plumage.
Length: 14 cm (5.5 in)
Wingspan: 20-22 cm (7.9-8.7 in)
Weight: 16-20 g (0.6-0.7 oz)
Robins feed mainly on insects, worms, and spiders. In autumn and winter, they also eat fruit and berries. Robins often visit garden bird tables and bird feeders for foods such as seed mixes, sunflower hearts and mealworms.
The female Robin builds a cup-shaped nest ...made of leaves and moss, and lined with hair and feathers. The nest is usually situated in a hole in a wall, tree or bank, or in shrubs or climbers, such as ivy. Sometimes, Robins build nests in very odd places such as plant pots, hats, watering cans and barbecues.
The female lays between 4 and 6 eggs in a single clutch. Robins usually produce 2 broods a year. The chicks typically hatch after 14 days and fledge around 14 days later.

I hope this educational video does well. More bird enthusiasts is better for all bird video makers. Thanks for helping people learn about your local birds!
Thank you, much appreciated. The European Robin could have been one of your local birds too if the attempts to introduce it into North America in the 1800's had been successful :)
Beautiful production, my friend. Thanks for sharing. Interesting movie.
Wish you a pleasant weekend.

Thank you! You too!
I'm just coming from my street at 00:50 . and heard a lovely sound of bird in the silent of night. after searching who's it, I learn that this bird singing from morning till night if there very bright light at the street. I recorded it with my smartphone to find who's that bird that not sleeping like me. 😊 Thanks
Yes, Robins are one of the first birds to start singing at dawn and often sing earlier, or later after dusk, if there's artificial light like street lights. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 😊
Thank you so much for your video diaries. The videos are so well put together, and the clarity of the birds is truly stunning.
I love this bird. Nice footage.
Have a great weekend, Jacq

I had a pair of robins hand feeding last year, it was wonderful. When their fledglings flew the nest they bopped around my flowerbeds and were not shy at all. Those scruffy little brown fuzz balls made my summer 🤎❤️

Hello, I contact you for a question. For a small video about birds in tik-tok I am looking for a short video footage of a European robin. I saw yours which I think is great. Would it be possible to use about 10-20 seconds? Of course, on the snippet, I would put the name of your channel..Thanking you for your attention. Best wishes.
