What
Do Robins Look For?
A
robin's territory must meet the family's
needs during nesting season. The male chooses a territory
with water
to bathe in and drink, earthworms
and insects to eat, shelter
to hide from predators, and a safe place for the
family's nest. He picks a territory away from other robin
families.
A robin may battle other males for a good territory. When he wins, he stakes his claim. How? He sings his song, loud and clear. Now he is home!
