Portrait Of A Robin
The American Robin (Turdus migratorius) is the state bird of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Connecticut. This makes it one of the most popular state birds, and it is often seen in state flags, coins, shields, seals, and other symbols. The American Robin is an omnivorous bird that eat a wide variety of different foods, including earthworms, caterpillars, snails, spiders, berries, and fruit. American robins have exceptionally keen eyesight that allows them to see the tiny disturbances in the soil that indicate where worms are moving. This is how robins find worms, though they also use their senses of hearing and touch as part of their hunting as well. American Robins have a flexible, complex syrinx voice box that allows them to create highly varied, warbling songs. American robins are often part of the morning chorus and will sing for hours to attract mates and advertise the territory they have claimed. In the backyard, American Robins will often snack on jelly, mealworms, and suet, and they will also sample nuts and seeds, though they do not eat these foods as frequently.
