About Robins
Robins are a favourite of many people throughout the UK, not just bird watchers. This is likely because they are associated with Christmas and have beautiful colours, including their famous red breast. Here are some more interesting details to remember about robins, so that you can wow everyone at Christmas dinner this year:
- Young robins are not red, instead appearing golden brown with spots or speckles.
- Robins love to sing! You can hear their distinctive birdsong all year round, not just at Christmas.
- Robins may look sweet, but they are actually very territorial.
- Robins are probably considered festive because postmen, who delivered Christmas cards and gifts, were nicknamed "robin red-breasts" in Victorian times.
