The robin is a small bird, recognisable by its bright orange breast and forehead, contrasting with its olive-brown plumage. Sociable and inquisitive, it frequents gardens, forests and parks, where it feeds on insects, berries and seeds. Its melodious song, often heard in spring, makes it a popular bird. It is said to be a friend of gardeners because it stays close to them when they turn over the soil, on the lookout for worms and insects to feed on.
