💡 Did you know?
Robins are fiercely territorial and will fight their own reflection in a window! They're also one of the few birds that sings through the night near streetlights.
Despite their friendly reputation, robins have a high mortality rate — about 70% die in their first year. A robin singing at night is often responding to artificial light, a behaviour increasing in urban areas.
