American Robin

The American robin is the most common and abundant bird in North America with a population of over 320 million! How do I know this? Why, a little birdie told me! hehe

When you see the robin you know spring is officially here, despite what the calendars say. We robins are the heralds of spring, not some silly piece of paper.

If singing for my supper was a requirement, I'd certainly win first place. My song is one of the earliest in the morning and the last in the evening. I love to sing and I do it a lot, whenever I'm not eating, of course!

Birdsong is as old as time. Birds sing to announce their ownership of territory, to find a mate, or just for the joy of living. Of course they all sing completely different tunes, but all birds understand the nuances of other bird’s songs, even though they may sound entirely different.

There is a natural order of things. Little tweeting birds hear one another in the hedges; hawks scream in the skies; blackbirds warble across the fields. And they ignore other species.

But when the wrens first saw a microphone and realised they could make themselves heard by everybird everywhere, that changed all the rules. Suddenly it wasn’t good enough to have just the right song for your environment; you had to scream just to be heard over the wrens!

Peace could only be achieved by giving everybird a microphone, but only in designated places. Then with everybird having an equal chance to be heard, competitive interspecies birdsong began. And the fields and skies went back to the natural order of things.
