American Robin

American Robin

The American Robin are fairly large songbirds that can be found very easily around North America. Both the males and females are around the same size. they have a length of 7.9-11 inches, a weight of 2.7-3 ounces, and a wingspan of 12.2-15.8 inches. These birds are a gray-brown color that have orange bellies and a dark head. They also have a little bit of white under the tail. Females on the other hand have paler heads that show less contrast and even blend in with the gray of their body.When they are looking for food on the ground, they would usually run, but if they are in long grass they would have to hop or fly above it. During the fall and winter, Robins can usually be found in large flocks and they spend most of their time up in trees. But in the spring, males attract females by singing, raising and spreading their tails, shaking their wings and inflating their white-striped throats. Pairs might even be seen holding beaks. American Robins are fairly common across the continent. American Robins really do not have a preferred food, so they just eat a large number of both insects and fruits. Their status is currently of least concern due to their increasing population in the last decade.
