The American Robin is the bird of new beginnings — the first song before dawn, the orange breast hopping across the lawn. Here's how to know them and welcome them.
How to identify an American Robin
Robins have a warm orange-red breast, a dark gray back and head, and a yellow bill. You'll often see them on open lawns, head cocked, pulling worms from the grass. Their cheerful, rolling song is one of the first sounds of spring.
How to attract robins
Robins don't eat seed — they prefer mealworms, fruit, and a good birdbath. Offer chopped apples or raisins, keep a shallow water source, and skip the pesticides so the worms and insects they eat stay healthy.
What does a robin symbolize?
The robin is a near-universal symbol of renewal, fresh starts, and the arrival of spring — a sign that warmer, brighter days are coming.
