Research by the Australian Museum (Major et al., 1999) has shown that male Red-capped Robin density is much lower in small, linear bushland remnants than in large non-linear remnants. Predators of nestlings include the Grey Shrike-thrush, Colluricincla harmonica, and the Grey Butcherbird, Craticus torquatus. Once the young have fledged, they may remain in their parents' territories for up to one and a half months before dispersing. Males and females are almost identical in shape and colour. It is named after the European robin 2 because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related, with the European robin belonging to the Old World flycatcher family. Robins are popular birds for their warm orange breast, cheery song, and early appearance at the end of winter. The American robin ( Turdus migratorius) is a migratory bird of the true thrush genus and Turdidae, the wider thrush family.
The female incubates the eggs alone and both sexes feed the young. This bird is easily recognisable to anyone due to the bright red breast and brown upper parts. The quintessential early bird, American Robins are common sights on lawns across North America, where you often see them tugging earthworms out of the ground. Their beaks are pale yellow, often with a slight black tip at the end. Female robins have dark brown irises, surrounded by a slight ring of pale feathers. The male feeds the female during nest-building and incubation. A female American robin’s back and wing feathers are a brownish-gray, in contrast to the darker black of a male. The female chooses a nest site in a tree-fork and builds an open, cup-shaped nest of bark, grass, and rootlets, bound together with spider web, lined with soft materials and often camoflaged with lichen, bark and mosses. It has a brown back and white belly, with the orange-red breast stretching up. The male sings from perches around the boundary of the territory to deter other Red-capped Robins and also other robin species, such as the Scarlet Robin, P. With its signature bright-red breast, the robin is immediately recognisable. The American robin is named after the European robin, which is often called a red robin.
This animal is the state bird of Connecticut, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Red-capped Robins breed in pairs within a breeding territory established and defended by the male. They can be found in open grassy areas, gardens, and woodlands.
