Robins are commonly found in gardens, parks, and woodlands across Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia. They prefer areas with dense vegetation for nesting and foraging.
The body length of a robin typically ranges from 12.5 to 14.5 centimeters (approximately 4.9 to 5.7 inches).
Robins generally weigh between 70 to 120 grams (2.5 to 4.2 ounces), with variations based on geographic location and availability of food.
In the wild, robins can live up to 2 years on average, but some individuals may live up to 5 years or more under favorable conditions.
Robins are omnivorous and primarily feed on insects, worms, berries, and seeds. They are known for their method of foraging by hopping on the ground to find food.
Robins are often seen foraging alone or in pairs. They are territorial during the breeding season and are known for their melodious singing, especially at dawn and dusk.
The natural enemies of robins include larger birds of prey like hawks and owls, as well as domestic cats and various snakes, which may prey on their eggs or young.
Robins are considered a symbol of spring in many cultures. Their bright orange-red breast makes them easily recognizable, and they are often associated with Christmas in various traditions. In folklore, robins are sometimes thought to have a special connection to the afterlife.
