I few interesting facts about these birds are that The American Robin is a known carrier for the West Nile virus. The Robin is able to hold the virus longer than other species, hence spreading it to more mosquitoes!

In the past, Robins were killed for their meat,. However, they are now protected in the U.S. thanks to the Migratory Bird Act.
