American robins are a popular bird in America. Often, they are seen on people’s lawns picking at worms, as well as other grass-filled areas, and tree-covered areas. You can tell what gender an American robin is by looking at its colors: females have darker colors, while males’ are more bright.
During the day, they search for earthworms on grass and soil. They also eat insects and berries. At sunrise, they sing songs.
Full-grown adult robins have to watch for their predators, which include hawks, cats, and snakes. Squirrels and some other birds may eat a newborn hatchling or an egg.
The mating behavior of robins is serial monogamy, meaning that they have a series of monogamous (mate with one female or male at a time) relationships. Their nests are made out of mud and grass. They are found in forks between tree branches or a bush and are 1.5 – 4.5 meters above the ground. Three to five blue eggs (view the image) are laid by a female in the spring. After hatching, the chick learns to fly once two weeks pass.
