5 Interesting Facts About Robins!

  • Robins are one of the only British birds to sing almost year-round - males sing even in autumn and winter to defend their territory, which is why the robin's song is so strongly associated with cold, frosty mornings.
  • They are surprisingly aggressive for such a small bird - robins will fight other robins fiercely over territory, and males have been observed attacking their own reflection in mirrors and windows.
  • Robins have a special relationship with gardeners - they've learned that digging disturbs worms and grubs, so they follow humans with spades very closely, often hopping onto the shovel handle between strokes.
  • The robin was voted Britain's unofficial national bird in a 2015 public poll organised by ornithologist David Lindo - it received 34% of the vote, comfortably beating the barn owl and blackbird.
  • Baby robins don't have red breasts - juvenile robins are speckled brown all over, and only develop the distinctive red breast during their first summer as it's needed for territorial signalling.
