A robin tilts its head to the side to spot worms in the grass, then tugs them out of the ground. The mother builds a cup-shaped nest of grass and mud and lays bright blue eggs. In spring, robins sing early in the morning, often before the sun comes up.

Read about it
The American robin is a kind of thrush. Early settlers named it after the robin of Europe because of its orange-red chest, but the two are different birds. Young robins have speckled chests that fade as they grow up. In winter, when worms are hard to find, robins switch to berries and fruit and gather in flocks.
