Why do you think robins might prefer small berries to big chunks of other fruits?
Robins might prefer the small berries than the larger chunks of fruits because they are smaller and softer and easier to swallow whole. This is important because they could choke if the berries are too large. Robins swallow the berries whole because they have no teeth to chew with.
