Robins are a stunning shade of red and stand out among other birds because of their voices. Robins are playful birds that have been known for their outgoing behavior and being friendly with humans. Robins are only known for being aggressive when aggravated. Robins are smaller birds only growing to be about 11 inches long, so they will not take up as much space as some larger birds.
Robins prefer to eat bugs and worms, which can be bought or brought in from your garden.
The robin comes from northern Europe to central Asia and later to the Maghreb, sticking to warmer places. It is also found in the Canary Islands and the British Isles.
