Amazing how different the European Robins are!

Yes, they look quite different and of course aren’t related to the North American robins at all. Cheers, Wayne.

I’m not a fan of robins. We have a “history.”

I’m sorry to hear that, Bernie, but I’d love to hear your story about that some time! The European robins are a different species from ours though, and really have nothing in common except breast colour. Cheers.

Now you have to share! Our robins are the sweetest of garden birds and have the most delightful song.

That made me start, seeing our British robin on here! They are such characters and often nest close to people.

Yes, definitely not one of our robins at all! The European robins also so cute. I didn’t realise that they like to nest near people.

Yes, they become very confiding very quickly, and are famous here for hopping around gardeners in the hope of finding some disturbed insects. A fair few British people can tell of robins that nested in their greenhouse or garage; there was a nest inside my local garden centre in the spring. They are quick learners. My parents have a pair in their garden who signal when they want birdfood by perching just outside the patio door, and my great aunt had at least one robin fly indoors.
I have heard that they are much less bold on the continent though.

Wow! I didn’t realise that they have such a relationship with humans. They are almost like community pets. It’s lovely that they are so well served by human activity – not usually the case, of course. Many thanks for explaining. Cheers.
